A new mini series for Shuriken. Shuriken, a former assassin turned freelance adventurer, was an early entry in both the Amerimanga and warrior woman trends that would explode over the next few decades. Following the events of Blade of Shuriken, unemployed and broke, Kyoko Shidara, aka Shuriken, takes a job with Danger Temps, basically a temp service for bodyguards. It sounds like a good idea at the time; but she is going to fight crazy vigilantes and a major terrorist organization (S.P.E.A.R.), who threatens all America. Meanwhile, Kyoko's mental state is tested. The storyline is followed in Hellbender and Shuriken(1991).

Later, when the detective inspects the body, he realizes that the man he shot was a copycat criminal. This means that Joan and Kyoko are alone, and in danger…
