Slick Henry is a convicted (and punished) car thief. The third story thread follows a reclusive artist named Slick Henry, who lives in a place named Factory in the Dog Solitude a large, poisoned expanse of deserted factories and dumps, perhaps in New Jersey. She meets Molly Millions (having altered her appearance and now calling herself "Sally Shears", in order to conceal her identity from hostile parties who are implied to be pursuing her), who takes the girl under her wing. In London she is cared for by one of her father's retainers, who is also a powerful member of the London Mob. The second story focuses on a young Japanese girl named Kumiko, daughter of a Yakuza boss sent to London to keep her safe while her father engages in a gang war with other top Yakuza leaders. Mona is hired by shady individuals for a "gig" which later turns out to be part of a plot to abduct Angie. One of the plot threads concerns Mona, an innocent young prostitute who has a more-than-passing resemblance to famed Simstim superstar Angela (Angie) Mitchell. Taking place eight years after the events of Count Zero and fifteen years after Neuromancer, the story is formed from several interconnecting plot threads, and also features characters from Gibson's previous works (such as Molly Millions, the razor-fingered mercenary from Neuromancer). The novel was nominated for the Nebula Award for Best Novel, the Hugo Award for Best Novel, and the Locus Award for Best Science Fiction Novel in 1989.
