Abby Grant meets an apparent Good Samaritan, who may be nothing of the sort. And in Cambridge, the seat of the New Federal Government, the Prime Minister tasks Law Minister Jenny Richards with a secret assignment.
Abby is on the run, and Jenny risks her future to protect her. An old friend, Jackie Burchall, is also eager to help. But when Abby falls in with an activist group called The Veil, it jeopardizes everyone.
Abby remembers Leonard Cross as the awful children's entertainer who came to one of her son's birthday parties before the Death. She doesn't expect to find herself relying on him as she recovers from injury and tragedy.
