Naira Smith is the most sought-after private detective in Scotland Yard. She could guess your favourite colour by how often you blinked in the span of a minute. She could tell you how often you have sex judging by how you take your coffee. A crime scene was like her own personal brain teaser. Criminals are careless and unprecise, and attention to detail was her forte. She finally meets her match, a man who murders Edward Sherwood in the middle of the night without much of a struggle. She almost loses hope, until she discovers that Sherwood could quite possibly be communicating with her beyond the grave. These walls may not be able to speak, but the body sure can...

How do you solve a murder when you cannot reveal you are an undercover detective? The development of time travel undermined most traditional religions in the Solar System by proving there is no such thing as fate. But it left a void that had to be filled. Today, many people venerate science and evolution, but some worship time itself. In the rings of Saturn, one of the Solar System's greatest sporting events is approaching, providing the perfect cover for the secretive temporal cults to hold their annual inter-faith retreat. Members from every sect will meet to socialise, discuss their ideas and beliefs, and display their latest inventions, which can manipulate time in ways that should not be possible. Time-travelling police detective Erik Midgard is also attending in disguise, to gather intelligence on the cults for the Chronological Operations Agency. It is a risky and complicated assignment, made harder because the laws of time appear to be suddenly - and inexplicably - changing, which could have dire consequences for Erik himself. The last thing he needs is another murder to solve. Undercover in a small hotel, in a jurisdiction he is not meant to be in, with a killer among the guests who may be the most intelligent and cunning adversary he has ever faced, Erik must solve the case, and the mystery of his own origins, before it is too late. One way or another, Erik's time is almost up. The final volume of the Erik Midgard Case Files.
