This is the first of the Alex Benedict novels and introduces him plus Chase Kolpath. It's a rather leisurely novel. I expected a bit more drama after the initial set-up, when someone breaks into the house and steals information, wiping the memory of the house AI along the way. But not much more happens for a long time except Alex's travels, unearthing a bit of information here and there. Nice build-up to the revelation at the end, there are multiple layers to the real story. McDevitt does a great job creating a far-future culture with all the references he gives to their art and literature.
