Synopsis: Zack Tourney didn't know he'd been murdered. It had happened on Thursday, January 13, 2033, up in the Coldzone, but he didn't have so much as a hint until weeks later. And he wasn't the only one - half a dozen top political and financial figures throughout the world had also been infected with the slow virus which was doing Zack in. All Zach's friends, the crooks, spies, double agents, sneaks, wild talents, freaks and mewts couldn't do a thing for him. Even Timpany Quarls, Zack's junk-food-heiress girl friend couldn't help him... where was Timpany anyway? Zack had to go it alone. Find his murderers, find the antidote, and while he was at it, find his girl friend before he dropped in his tracks. After all, it was his murder! (from the back cover of the DAW Books first edition)
