Computer journalist Georgina Powers is investigating a phone phreaking scam in the East End of London when her contact and toy boy, Abdul, is found dead at the bottom of a skip. And when the police arrive, Georgina is in the frame. Not only do the police want to nail her, but a Bengali protection gang want to know what happened to Abdul. Georgina calls on an old friend, East End villain and ex-boxer Tony Levi, to help out and finds herself in the midst of a gang war in cyberspace and a turf war in real life.
