Benjamin and Natalya arrive in Singapore. On the way from the airport, with a tropical storm imminent, their hire car is trapped in the middle of a crowded road junction. A vehicle hurtles into it, a pedestrian dies, and Benjamin finds himself in all kinds of trouble. Meanwhile a frail old woman lies dead in an apartment block known as Tower Nine. Bullied policewoman Kyra Abuja, along with her new young partner Wei, are sent to investigate. It looks to be a natural death but Tower Nine is deserted, soon to be sold. Kyra and Wei are suspicious, especially as the woman's elderly husband is nowhere to be found. And then her superiors remove them from the case. What is Tower Nine's toxic secret? How is a mysterious one-armed refugee from Mao's China with a violent past involved? And could Benjamin be somehow linked to the dead old woman? Both Kyra and Benjamin need answers. And fast, or it will be too late for both of them.
