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