SR 220: Stirred
NO PLACE FOR A HERO... Jimmy Kincaid¸ burned-out mage¸ P. I.¸ and the closest thing Puyallup's got to a hero¸ has a lot on his plate these days. Simmering gang wars¸ feuding mobsters¸ missing runaways¸ magical power only as reliable as his stubborn sorcerous patron¸ and-well above his usual pay grade-an encrypted data file that's already cost him friends¸ but that he can't even access. When the always-dangerous troubles of the Seattle sprawl deepen into a bloody conspiracy with ties to neighboring nations and inhuman powers¸ he knows he's on the job of his life. Facing the longest of long odds¸ Kincaid's all too aware that the house always wins. Luckily¸ he's not alone. A man like Jimmy can't walk these shadowed streets without making enemies¸ but he's made allies¸ too. With the help of his bounty-hunting best friends¸ an up-and-coming shadowrunner team¸ a former Lone Star detective who's short in stature but big in style¸ and his loyal¸ albeit flighty ally spirit¸ Jimmy's stacked the deck in his favor. Maybe he's got a shot after all. Maybe he can make it all work. Maybe he can find the right balance¸ share the right truths¸ and make something good out of a whole lot of bad. Of course¸ the problem with a house of cards is it just takes one good hit to bring it all tumbling down...
