'Science fiction with a generous helping of humanity - the best kind of speculative writing'
Christina Dalcher (on Across the Void)

Detective Lio Dos Santos has caught an impossible case: Rosalind Teller, a young Cal-Tech scientist, is found murdered in her apartment, doors and windows locked from the inside. Despite being burned out by the street and haunted by the ghosts of his past, Lio becomes obsessed with Rosalind's enigmatic life and death.

He discovers that Rosalind was murdered for her scientific discovery - an incredible, dangerous way to instantly transport a person from one location to another. A fantasy-turned-reality.

And when Rosalind suddenly reappears alive and well, the two must find a way to survive when powerful figures are willing to kill to steal her technology, and just as many to destroy it . . . turning the world into a war against itself.
