Megacorporation Xiong Holonautics' top executive is dead, murdered with the company's revolutionary solid hologram projector, and this dangerous new technology has been stolen.

To catch the killer, retrieve the prototype, and save both his company and his job, desperate and dutiful Chief of Security Green Greene must navigate the deceptive world of holograms, where illusion can be indistinguishable from reality and where visually, at least, anything is possible.

The metropolis of Portsmith is unforgiving, but Greene has an ace up his sleeve: his former partner, Juha Karjalainen, who has a unique eye for holograms. But Juha is eccentric and unpredictable-and he may also be a murderer. As Greene struggles to determine not only what is real but also who he can trust, he finds himself embroiled in a deep and deadly conspiracy-one that will test his loyalties and endanger those he loves most.
