Bradon Cross is a shadowrunner.
Brandon Cross is running under a dark cloud. His last shadowrun turned into a nightmare that cost the life of a teammate, Lynx, a woman for whom he cared a great deal. Worse, the tragedy betrayed a terrible secret—Lynx had secretly been possessed by a mantid spirit. Tormented with anger and guilt, Brandon resolves never again to be responsible for another person's life. His friends reach out to him, but he pushes them away.
Cross begins looking for solo jobs to keep his mind busy, and finds one when a wealthy woman hires him to find her missing daughter. The trail leads to a circle of mantid spirits—the same circle that had produced the spirit who possessed Lynx. Brandon maneuvers the mantids into a situation in which he can expose them by sacrificing his own life, thus obtaining his revenge and final peace in a single stroke.
