Beschreibung

In Jimmy McSwain's world, death is ever-present, a concept that both taunts and defines him. Now it's about to consume him. A new client has come to Finley Investigations with a strange request: stop her husband from killing himself.
But it isn't so simple a request. Nick Juneau is ill and doesn't want those around him to watch him suffer. What can a seasoned private eye like Finn Sullivan and his apprentice do for this family? Before they can confront him, Jimmy is tasked with trailing Nick, who disappears for hours at a time without explanation.
Jimmy has lots to learn about being a private investigator. The art of surveillance, finding one clue and understanding how it unlocks more pieces of an unsolvable puzzle, keeping to the job at hand. Stopping one man from doing something regretful doesn't mean he has to save the world.

    While there, he meets Pam, a young anthropologist. She introduces James to a local elder, Billy. The three of them go on walkabout to Kata Djuta and finally back to Uluru, the main purpose of which seems to be to prepare James for an unusual celestial event.
