The ''Parrish Plessis'' series is a {{Cyberpunk}} trilogy by Marianne de Pierres. The series consists of ''Nylon Angel'' (2004), ''Code Noir'' (2004), and ''Crash Deluxe'' (2005).
Parrish Plessis lives in the Tert, a WretchedHive on a poisoned stretch of the coast of Australia. She works, against her will, as a bodyguard for the sadistic gang leader Jamon Mondo. Her one ambition in life is to break free from his control and join the enigmatic [[TheSyndicate Cabal Coomera]]. She thinks she's found her chance when popular newscaster Razz Retribution is murdered and rumor has it the Cabal is responsible. Parrish thinks she can track them down with the help of the two patsies who were set up to take the fall: a naive country boy named Sto and a man with a dangerous passion for racial purity named Loyl-me-Daac. At the same time, the sinister Io Lang comes to her with an offer she can't refuse: do him a little favor, and he'll get Mondo sent to death row. But what looked like her big break goes horribly awry, and Parrish finds herself taking the heat for Razz's murder. What's worse, she ends up infected by a parasite that begins slowly corrupting her body and mind. TheCorruption is spreading, and Parrish has to find a way to stop it from destroying humanity even as the whole world starts hunting for her head.

This work contains examples of:
* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: Parrish's Eskaalim takes the form of an angel
* ActionGirl: Parrish
* ArtificialLimbs: Dark has a prosthetic hand; Bras ends up with two
* TheCasanova: Every woman who lays eyes on Loyl-me-Daac instantly falls in love with him. He seems to genuinely care about some of them, such as Anna Schaum, but is also willing to remorselessly manipulate and discard others such as Kiora Bass.
* TheChosenOne: Parrish is hailed by the Muenos as the prophesized savior "Oya". She wants no part of it.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Parrish
* TheClan: Loyl-me-Daac's ''gens''
* TheCorruption: The Eskaalim
* CrapsackWorld
* {{Cyberpunk}}
* DemonicPossession: Mei Sheong and the shamans describe infection by the Eskaalim in these terms
* DoomMagnet: Anyone Parrish befriends stands a high chance of ending up dead, or at the very least worse off than they were before
* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:Parrish]]
* EvilutionaryBiologist: Loyl-me-Daac occasionally skirts this, with his belief in racial superiority and experiments with genetic engineering.
* FeelNoPain: In the late stages of TheCorruption
* GlamourFailure: Io Lang can disguise himself pretty effectively by shapeshifting, but Parrish is able to identify him by his distinctive caustic smell
* GymBunny: Pat
* HealingFactor: Granted by TheCorruption
* HeroicWillpower: Allows Parrish to resist the Eskaalim
* HorribleHollywood: Taken to extremes -- the Media is quite possibly the most evil force on the planet
* HowUnscientific: Anything involving the shamans
* IOweYouMyLife: Taken to dark extremes by Cabal Coomera's notion of ''goma''. If the Cabal saves your life, you're in their debt -- forever.
* InterplayOfSexAndViolence: Sex and violence are the two major things that fuel the Eskaalim
* JizzedInMyPants: A security guard, when Parrish's ShowSomeLeg works a little ''too'' well.
* LukeIAmYourFather: The media Prier that keeps getting in her business? It's pilot is [[spoiler:Parrish's sister]].
* MadDoctor: Dr. Del Morte. Dr. Anna Schaum also skirts this trope, being well-intentioned but utterly devoid of ethics.
* MegaCity: Vivacity
* TheMetaverse: Called vreal, presumably a contraction of virtual reality
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Loyl-me-Daac's attempts to find a cure for heavy metal poisoning end up releasing the Eskaalim, who had previously been suppressed by the human immune system. Parrish also has the misfortune to combine ChronicHeroSyndrome with DoomMagnet.
* NoTranshumanismAllowed: Heavily averted; cyborging and genetic engineering are widespread
* [[spoiler:NoEnding]]
* ProjectedMan: Parrish's p-com, Merry 3#
* RazorFloss: Parrish's garrote wires
* RodentsOfUnusualSize: Canrats, dog-rodent hybrids with moderate intelligence and a taste for human flesh
* RoseHairedGirl: Mei Sheong, who spends a considerable portion of her salary on pink hair dye
* SealedEvilInACan: The Eskaalim first infected humanity long ago, but were supressed by the human immune system
* TimeAbyss: [[spoiler:Brilliance, a ''Homo erectus'' who supressed the Eskaalim within her and used it to become immortal]]
* UrbanSegregation: The Tert is an isolated slum of Vivacity. It also contains its own segregated area, which not even the poorest squatters dare enter: the rotten heart of the Tert, the dark city of Dis.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Granted by TheCorruption after it has completely taken hold
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Loyl-me-Daac
* WretchedHive: The Tert
* XtremeKoolLetterz: Frequently used in slang; tech is "tek", girl is "grrl", etc...
