Things couldn't get much worse.Then his brother--Monsanto Mets slugger J.J. Zunz--is murdered at home plate.Determined to find the killer, Kobo plunges into a world of genetically modified CEOs, philosophical Neanderthals, and back-alley body modification, only to quickly find he's in a game far bigger and more corrupt than he imagined.
