Bernal Haydon-Rumi, an assistant to a woman who spends her time providing financial support to bizarre and otherwise unfunded projects, has just discovered a puzzle after returning to the home of his employer after a business trip. And the puzzle involves a strange network of eccentrics that keep Bernal in pursuit of answers: a sassy activist with a collection of home-brewed devices, a spiritual therapist whose past involvements with cryogenics has given him major complications, a drug dealer, a local serial killer, and a flock of other memorable faces. It gets worse, because the AI project that his boss has been funding may be stranger than he thought, and, since she has not divulged too many details, Bernal can only be guided by speculation along this mystery path. What has Bernal’s employer been keeping from him? And where will it take him in his quest for answers?
