But she's not alone. A shadowy figure emerges – one of Ellis's own colleagues, Dr. Pierce, who makes it crystal clear some secrets are just too dangerous to see the light of day. What follows is a brutal showdown in the observatory, a desperate fight with the fate of scientific progress hanging in the balance. Telescopes become weapons, glass shatters, and someone takes a dramatic, gravity-assisted exit from the roof.In the end, Ellis is gone, his earth-shattering discovery stolen, but our gritty detective manages to snatch a piece of the puzzle – a crucial equation etched on a chalkboard.
