The book crossed-over with the George Orwell novel Nineteen Eighty-four by having Honoré and Emily travel to the Party's timeline.
== Publisher's summary ==
Emily is dead. Killed by an unknown assailant. Honoré Lechasseur is called to identify the body, but who should arrive there as well but Emily! Honoré and Emily find themselves caught up in a plot reaching from the future to their past, and with their very existence, not to mention the future of the entire world, at stake, can they unravel the mystery before it's too late?
