"Remember, gangbangers are crazy, and often not too bright. They don't act and react like a rational opponent." Dad fell into lecture mode at the drop of a hat. I'd never understood why Mom found that sexy, but she spent a whole semester listening to him before she banged him and ended up with me.
"Yeah, I know. It always boggles me that they see people killed all the time, but don't think it will happen to them. There's some kind of disconnect in their brains. I don't know if it's the drugs, breathing unfiltered air, congenital issues, or what. With a lot of them, it seems as though their danger reaction is broken."

Une histoire fantastique et irréelle mais captivante.
L'héroïne est du genre super hero. Il y a une enquête, une intrigue amoureuse, un soupçon de romance. Les personnages sont de qualités. Ce genre de livre, c'est ma tasse de thé! J'adore, tout simplement!

Résumé
Libby is a mutant, one of the top burglars and assassins in the world. For a price, she caters to executives’ secret desires. Eliminate your corporate rival? Deliver a priceless art masterpiece or necklace? Hack into another corporation’s network? Libby’s your girl.
Climate change met nuclear war, and humanity lost. The corporations stepped in, stripping governments of power. Civilization didn’t end, but it became less civilized. There are few rules as corporations jockey for position and control of assets and markets.
In the year 2200, the world has barely recovered the level of technology that existed before the ice melted and the subsequent wars. Corporate elites live in their walled estates and skyscraper apartments while the majority of humanity supplies their luxuries. On the bottom level, the mutants, the poor, and the criminals scramble every day just to survive.
Urban Fantasy set 200 years in the future.
