Dervish Is Digital
Rating
Konstantin is Chief Officer in charge of TechnoCrime, Artificial Reality Division. In fact, she is the AR Division - unless you count her subordinates, Celestine and DiPietro. Most of the time, Konstantin doesn't count them, so puts them on loan to auto crime. Now, as if handling her heavy case-load almost single-handed wasn't enough, she's got a stalker to deal with.
Hastings Dervish, who's so rich he lives in the Key West enclave where all legal records are sealed and the local police are bought and sold, is the stalker. At least, that's what Susannah Ell claims, and she should know. Two reasons: first, she's the one being stalked; second, she used to be married to Dervish. Worse, Susannah says Dervish is a race traitor - to the human race. He's swapped places with an? ambitious Al, and now Dervish has all the processing power he needs to infiltrate every line mm of code in Susannah's AR design studio. And what about the Al? It's using Dervish's body as a base to visit AR, hanging out in the gambling casinos of the Lowdown Hong Kong mound.
Which is where the guys from the East/West Precinct, a Japanese law-enforcement agency, come in. And specifically Goku, who often likes to go into AR in the persona of a nine-year-old kid. This really makes Konstantin unhappy but, if she's going to get the goods on Hastings Dervish, she'll have to deal with Goku.
??????: 11?? x 17,5??.
