An assistant who reminds her of a Viking crossed with an over-enthusiastic puppy, and cases to work without a boss micro-managing — or plotting to murder — her: Everything Agent Sam Rose ever wanted.

But a strange explosion at Drenmann Labs disrupts her equilibrium. The senior agent in the neighbouring district — who technically outranks her — dismisses it as an accident. Sam suspects something more. Especially since only Henry Troom, former protégé of Dr Abdul Emir, died in the blast.

Sam packed away the trauma of dealing with Dr Emir's parallel-reality machine with the final compulsory psychological debriefing last May. But this case forces her not only to reconfront her worst fears… Sam finds herself embroiled in a battle for the very fabric of reality, pursued by someone who wants to make sure secrets stay hidden.

Sam's dark future is here.

Perfect for fans of Blade Runner and J.D. Robb's In Death series, don't miss Convergence Point, the gripping sequel to The Day Before.
