Racing to stop a high-risk demonstration of teleportal contact with an alternate universe, intelligence analyst Samantha Pederson arrives outside the building just as it explodes. When the explosion is classified as an antimatter/matter interaction set off by the teleportal, she knows better. She sets out to track down the killers. But the feds have collected and destroyed most of the evidence, and her quest leads to encounters with a crime lord, drug dealers, and the killers themselves, and none of them are too keen about her investigation. … She has the evidence she needs. Now all she has to do is get out of this explosive vest before it goes off.
