On the forty-fifth floor of the Nakamoto Tower in downtown L.A.-the new American headquarters of the immense Japanese conglomerate-a grand opening celebration is in full swing.
On the forty-sixth floor, in an empty conference room, the dead body of a beautiful young woman is discovered.
The investigation begins...and immediately becomes a headlong chase through a twisting maze of industrial intrugue...a no-holds-barred conflict in which control of a vital American technology is the fiercely covedted prize-and the Japanese seying "business is war" takes on a terrifying reality...
