A troubled detective, a mysterious murder victim. The miracles of mind interface technology will bring them together.

James Conroy is an Angel Officer in the Renaissance Police Department, a veteran of hundreds of death tech interfaces. No other Angel has journeyed deeper into the valley of the shadow of death. A late night call from Conroy's precinct chief can mean only one thing: another murder victim to be interviewed.

Laura Ashe – the deceased – was a talented eidolon artist, a rising star in the Renaissance firmament. But beneath the golden exterior, Ashe was, and still is, hiding many secrets, and sometimes for good reason. In life, Ashe drew every eye, but not all of her admirers had good intentions.

As the death horizon approaches, violence swirls, conspiracies emerge, and the suspects only seem to multiply. Will Conroy be able to identify the killer before Ashe's second and final death?
