A young mother among them finally cracks and strangles her philandering, gambling husband then confesses her crime to Masako, the closest of her colleagues. For reasons of her own, Masako agrees to assist her friend and seeks the help of the other co-workers to dismember and dispose of the body. The body parts are discovered, the police start asking questions, but the women have far more dangerous enemies -a yakuza connected loan shark who discovers their secret and has a business proposition, and a ruthless nightclub owner the police are convinced is guilty of the murder.

The government abandoned him. Now they're asking for his help. But they're not going to like his answer. A secret department of Homeland Security is recruiting agents to work undercover in the Middle East, and the director wants his second-in-command, Matt Egan, to bring aboard an old friend, Salam Al Fayed-better known as Fade. He seems perfect for the job: A New Yorker and ex-Navy Seal, he is the son of immigrants and he speaks perfect Arabic. Trouble is, he's "retired;" he got shot in the back in the line of duty, and the U.S. government refused to pay for the risky surgery that could have helped him. Now Fade lives the life of a hermit, walking around with a bullet lodged near his spine and liable to shift at any moment, and the last thing he wants to hear is that his country needs him-least of all, his ex-best friend Matt Egan, whom he sees as responsible for his present condition. Against Egan's wishes, the director forces the issue and tries none too subtly to "persuade" Fade to join the team. But Fade, angry and hopeless, is prepared to fight back at any cost; the ensuing confrontation is a bloody one. And the chase is on-will Matt be able to find his friend-turned-fugitive before Fade can take the ultimate revenge? Fade is a remarkable, take-no-prisoners read from an unparalleled writer at the height of his talents.

Maar het is niet het lot dat deze personages aan elkaar linkt, maar iets dat veel concreter en huiveringwekkender is: een groep mysterieuze vrouwen die plotseling opduiken en over hun hele rug slordig getatoeëerde stadsplattegronden hebben. De vrouwen zijn allen ontvoerd maar hebben de dader geen van allen kunnen zien, zijn op een voor hen onbekende plek getatoeëerd en verder ongemoeid weer vrijgelaten. Een van hen duikt op voor een plattegrondenwinkel en ontbloot haar rug, om vervolgens door een man een aftandse Cadillac in gesleurd te worden. Winkelbediende Zak ziet zich – mede door zijn nieuwsgierige vriendin Marilyn – tegen wil en dank een criminele onderwereld in gesleept worden die hij liever links had laten liggen. Naarmate de twee dieper de onderwereld in getrokken worden, wordt duidelijk dat Marilyn er op haar eigen manier al mee verbonden is.
