The ongoing saga of the lives, loves, and tragedies of four very different women in an increasingly chaotic world. First introduced in the book Prions from Wuhan, the book 2 in the series, Die or Make Die, described their tangled, difficult, and increasingly distrustful but intertwined complex relationships. Qian Choi is the leader of a Hong Kong-based triad deeply involved in pharmaceuticals. Her daughter-in-law, Jazz, formerly a sex slave in Saudi Arabia, is now prime minister of the new country of Vancouver. Hong, also married to her son, is forced to leave Hong Kong for fear of the CCP. Qian runs afoul of Big Pharma who is trying to force her to sell out. Lauren-a former assassin, widow of Qian's former husband, unwillingly pressed back into service-stages a violent rescue and goes on to settle the score with dangerous, ruthless people.
