Summary
Why me? It was to be the last thought a
young prostitute, Rune-Balot, would ever have...as a human
anyway. Taken in by a devious gambler named Shell, she became a
slave to his cruel desires and would have been killed by his
hand if not for the self-aware All-Purpose Tool (and little
yellow mouse) known as Oeufcoque. Now a cyborg, Balot is not
only nigh-invulnerable but has the ability to disrupt
electrical systems of all sorts. But even these powers may not
be enough for Balot to deal with Shell, who offloads his
memories to remain above the law, the immense assassin
Dimsdale-Boiled, or the neon-noir streets of Mardock City
itself.
