Alistair, having abandoned the family business, plots to save his hide and that of his wife while she strives to stay one step ahead of a husband she has no reason to trust.Far to the north amid civil unrest, a recently retired Rénald Dupont investigates the disappearance of his friend and former colleague, Meredith, despite grave threats from an increasingly skittish North American Union government.As old and new foes emerge, spouse is further pit against spouse, brother against sister, and governments against their people.

It is the second installment in r. r. campbell's epic EMPATHY sci-fi saga.
