A crime scene within the bomber's wreckage named "Ten Knights on the Barroom Floor," spearheads his investigation into a 30-year-old mystery entangling Stanek and Toland in a deadly and intricate web threaded with global intrigue. Stanek must look beyond science to probe the human soul when survival depends upon the pursued becoming the pursuers.
