The world is going to end. They all know that. How would you act if you knew? Detective Henry Palace is a policeman who continues to do his job. Actually, the police station has been taken over by the federal government and Henry has been forced to retire. When he is hired to find a missing person, he doesn't hesitate. Of course, a lot of people have just taken off to enjoy their last few months. But this is different. The missing man is a family man who is described as noble. Henry gets a tip on where he is going but he needs his sister's help to investigate. The entire campus of UNH is off limits to anyone who is not part of the Free State. His sister is known there and can get them in. What Henry finds is so much more than he could have expected.
