This chapter introduces the dilapidated and temporary setting of Sitka Central's Homicide modular offices, highlighting the bureaucratic and physical decay surrounding the police force. Detective Inspector Bina Gelbfish returns from Yakovy to take over leadership of the squad after Felsenfeld's abrupt departure, forcing her to work with her ex-husband Landsman and his partner Berko. The chapter explores the uneasy personal and professional dynamics among the trio amid the looming threat of the U.S. Interior Department's 'Burial Society' preparing for the district's political reversion.
