On my third day in 1992, I saw Laura Dietrichson. It was one thing to read about murders in true crime books. The victim had a life-accounts and photos were merely evidence of that life.

It's up to Cal to track her down and learn all he can about her death, before it happens. Cal soon learns that, while the past cannot be changed-the "First Law" of time travel-there is much a time traveler can do in the past. Unfortunately for Cal, this includes the possibility of dying there...
