Mardock Scramble: The Second Combustion

Rescued from Boiled by Doctor Easter, Rune Balot finds temporary shelter in "Paradise," a high-tech laboratory where the Scramble 09 protocol originated. While Oeufcocque regenerates in a healing vat, Rune struggles to find some measure of peace. But as they search for Shell's hidden memories, Boiled finds them again, and Rune and the Doctor decide to carry the war to the enemy. It's a world of high-stakes gambling and glamor as Rune struggles to bring the man that murdered her to justice. (amazon.com)
