Publisher's Synopsis
Who will survive the Apocalypse? As the hammer of winter crushes the people of the former United States, life goes on and people struggle to continue in difficult circumstances, reestablishing former connections as the secondary flu ravishes the youth. Old and dark questions reemerge. Who did this to them? Why?Meanwhile, Emmaus concentrates on what is within their control -- defending their borders, caring for their families, helping each other as they can, and the discovery of a homicide inside the wire.With so many dying, a single murder seems irrelevant, but eternal optimist Cai Delaney dons his sleuth hat and sets out to identify the murderer.
