Catherine Allingham has "figured out Stonehenge and found D.B. Cooper". Now the woman called America's Foremost Detective has six months at best to live, thanks to a brain tumor that may be causing her to see things that aren't there. She hires an observant bouncer as her assistant just before a trip to Austria to investigate the disappearance of a machine built to measure the human soul.
