Cal teams up with Boges to plant a listening bug in Oriana's house to extract vital information.

"Trapped with a train bearing down on him, Cal's chances of survival look grim. The cops and criminal gangs are unrelenting--they want him behind bars...or dead. The stakes are getting higher, but all the slues to the Ormond Singularity just lead to more puzzles, and more danger. Thwarted at every turn, it seems Cal has no hope of finding the answers. Is there anyone he can trust? The clock is ticking. Any second could be his last"--Publisher.

Cal's old life ended as soon as the deadly 365-day countdown began. He's a hunted fugitive who'll do anything to survive. But is Cal desperate enough to befriend a traitor with killer connections? Or risk returning to the scene of his attempted murder? Should he meet with a mysterious informant, when it could be a setup? The clock is ticking. Any second could be his last.

A high-speed chase gone wrong leaves Cal exposed to Oriana's thugs. If captured, all hope of solving the Ormond Singularity and having a normal life again disappears. He has to get away, but how can he leave an innnocent man to drown?

Hunted by the law and ruthless criminals, Cal must somehow uncover the truth about his father's mysterious death and a history-changing secret."--Cover [p. 4].
