Two months after the events of Shadow Memories , private investigators Cassie Atwood and Kurt Desmond have spiraled into the abyss. Business is slow. Their relationship is in tatters. But at least life has granted them a temporary respite from the Singularity and ancient conspiracies. Until they’re pulled back into the 10,000 year-old alien conspiracy that they thought they had left behind. On the run in San Francisco, desperately searching for a legendary smuggler known only as the Dragon, Kurt and Cassie must journey further down the rabbit hole if they want to save themselves - and the world - from destruction. One this rabbit hole is personal—because Shadow, Cassie’s estranged father, is at the heart of the conspiracy.
