The young couple had been murdered with peculiar precision... a single sword stroke that nearly cut their joined bodies in half. This bizarre homicide that crossed state lines led New York FBI agents Bert Gibbons and Mike Tozzi to a sinister new crime network.

A powerful partnership between America's Mafia and Japan's underworld, it involves megabuck brothels stocked with Oriental beauties and a savage labor scam ruled by brute force. The mob enforcers are a new samurai skilled in the deadliest martial arts. And Gibbons and Tozzi may have to learn some new tricks if they intend to get out of this one alive.
