Nameless has lost his detective’s license and will soon be out of money. His friend, police lieutenant Eberhardt has lost his wife to another man. The two of them are consoling one another when Eberhardt answers his door. Gunshots follow, and both Eberhardt and Nameless are seriously wounded. While Eberhardt lies for days in a coma, Nameless drags himself through the narrow alleyways deep in San Francisco’s Chinatown to find out who did it... and why. The answers will chill him to the depths of his soul.
