When the door bursts open, Dr. David Wong has just hidden his notebook—and the secret passage behind his bookcase. In Leader Marley’s society, even a locked door can look like a crime.

In a future New York divided into rigid Categories, science answers to a ruler who insists that only he understands what each group needs. Wong’s work with a virus has brought him a rare privilege: a few private hours. But his research may hold a far greater secret, one that could change who grows old—and who gets to decide what happens next. A summons from Marley’s government brings danger close, while Leah Hachovnik, his weary assistant, notices that Wong seems not to age. Then she tells him her twin sister is coming back. What has Tanya discovered, and can Wong keep his own secret hidden?
