Absinthe Rhinohorn runs Bitcrime Division and his day-job is to execute crypto-currency miners with extreme prejudice.
Absinthe is over-endowed with action, but less articulate in matters of the heart and corporate politics.
When his affair with undercover agent Turtledove crumbles, he loses focus - and that's dangerous when you're at the pointy end of Bitcrime Division.
Will Absinthe survive? Indeed, will the planet survive? And will he find love in the age of Bitcoin?
