About this listen
P.I. Bertrand McAbee, former classics professor, has a knack for finding trouble in unlikely places. Baden College in Iowa is a pretty famous center of higher education. But a problem haunts the campus, a string of disappearances over many years.
McAbee is hired as a substitute classics professor and has one semester to find out whether or not the disappearances are sinister in nature. What he finds will bring him to the brink of death.

Hester Crimstein, a television criminal attorney, knows through her grandson that Naomi was relentlessly bullied at school.

Nate Lovejoy is a self-proclaimed nobody, a stay-at-home dad who doesn’t believe he’s important to anyone but his wife and their two daughters.

He’s foreseen that a billion people could die - unless Nate acts. It seems improbable, especially given what DeGange says will set this mass casualty incident in motion: a lawsuit against the biggest power company in Virginia, being brought by Nate’s wife.
