On the eve of a top-secret space mission, Captain Calli Chase detects an alarm in the tunnel of one of NASA's research centers. A quantum mechanics specialist and cybercrime investigator, Calli knows that the impending storm and the government shutdown create ideal conditions for sabotage.
The danger surpasses all her fears. Disturbing clues indicate that Carmé, her twin sister, missing for several days, is linked to this incident. As the countdown begins, Calli realizes that failure will spell disaster for the space program and the security of the entire nation.
A brilliant thriller, led at a cracking pace by Patricia Cornwell at the height of her powers.
