Freelance Tunneler Miles Franco could only watch helplessly when his friend, ex-detective Vivian Reed, was banished to the space between worlds. Now he means to get her back, whatever the cost. But he can't do it alone. Only one woman has the skill and smarts to help Miles tear reality asunder. Trouble is, she once tried to kill him -- and nearly succeeded. Even worse, Miles' old nemesis won't work for free. She wants the only thing a woman like her cares about. Power. And if Miles wants her help, he may have to sacrifice his city to get it.
