Adam Norcross is not in a good place. He recently buried his mother and now he needs something more than a power struggle between him and his mother's cat to distract him from his grief. That something comes in the form of an assignment from his boss, Walter Shapiro, who is not a patient man. Not surprising since he reports directly to the prime minister. Shapiro interrupts Norcross' bereavement leave to give him an assignment. Norcross' task is to find out how the country's most eminent climate scientist ended up dead off the highway in a mountain ravine. Was it an accident or suicide? As soon as he speaks to Shapiro, Norcross' unique precognitive ability tells him it is something else, something darker.
Sergeant Bethany Leith is not thrilled to have Norcross stepping on her toes. Even though Constable Bighetty is willing to give Norcross the benefit of the doubt. Once he inserts himself into Leith's suspicious death inquiry, Norcross will use his investigative knowledge and unusual talents to help her uncover who wanted Doctor Flete dead and why.
Salish University is ground zero for the investigation. Among those involved are Flete's dean, his wife, and his new girlfriend. Then there are his colleagues, some of whom denounced Doctor Flete's important work, including a woman from Adam Norcross' past.
