She and her partner, Ari Nathan, have a dangerous job on their hands, hunting down two criminals who have escaped into another level of the multiverse, the San Francisco of Terra Six.

As she gathers evidence, she finds herself face-to-face with part of her out personal past that she'd prefer to bury forever."--p.[4] of cover.
