After living for nearly sixteen years on the outskirts of Jegavol with nothing but worry-filled, adoptive parents and nasty rumors to explain how she got there, Celeste is more than ready for an escape. So when this escape comes in a bizarre way, complete with the ability to spend time with her best friend Vernon, she should be overjoyed. Instead, she’s ridden with anxiety, constantly wondering if her parents are alright. Finally, she needs to personally ensure her parents' well-being, so she knocks on the door to her home. A foreign soldier from Wrutome answers, and she spots her home being ransacked. In the midst of absolute shock, the soldiers attempt to kidnap her. Somehow, she escapes from their grasp, but then she watches in complete horror Vernon get ripped from her life. Celeste is shattered, but she determines in her heart to get Vernon back. She even goes into the dreaded Dominaek Forest to achieve this. By what she initially accounts as sheer luck, she finds a strange boy willing, and apparently able, to help her. In time, she begins to truly believe she will soon be reunited with Vernon. However, Celeste has no idea of the threat she and her curious new acquaintance pose to someone much more powerful and cunning than they could ever dream.

Book Description
Staggering from a bar into a dark, deserted alley, a man is stalked and attacked. Forty years later, December 2007, a letter reaches a Berkeley physics professor from her friend Cy Fapp, head of a Charleston private detective agency. As the story unfolds, these two seemingly unrelated events become linked to the 1938, true life disappearance of Sicilian physicist Ettore Majorana. Working from their agency in Charleston, South Carolina, Fapp and his two young associates, Jack and Ginger, are mystified by four seemingly unrelated cases. Through a series of bizarre coincidences, they discover a series of disappearances and murders over fifty years, taking place from Wisconsin to South Beach, Florida, from Italy to Berkeley, and from Charleston to Los Angeles, California. Jack and Ginger are propelled by their discoveries to link both their boss’s and the victims’ sudden interest in theoretical physics and parallel universes. Does this all mask an international conspiracy of serial killers? If not, how are the cases tied together? Is a major theoretical physics breakthrough at the heart of the mysteries? How has their boss, Cy Fapp, disappeared? And how, in the end, does a Berkeley professor come to hold the key to all the answers? Includes Readers Guide.
