On a snowy night at the end of winter, Joe Barrow and his partner find a body on the roof of a skyscraper. This is Cahokia, the ancient indigenous city beside the Mississippi living on as a teeming industrial metropolis, filled with people of every race and creed. Among them, peace holds. But that corpse on the roof will spark a week of drama in which this altered world will spill its secrets and be brought either to destruction or rebirth.
