Renowned sculptor Roy Valois receives the worst news since learning of his adored wife Delia''s death in South America fifteen years ago. His doctor tells him he''s dying—and a morbid curiosity about how he''ll be remembered inspires Roy, with the help of a local computer geek, to hack into a newspaper''s system to read his prewritten obituary. But the death notice includes a small discrepancy about his late wife—and by calling the mistake to the attention of the surprised obit writer, Roy has inadvertently sealed an innocent man''s doom.

Suddenly Roy has a mission: to uncover the truth about the woman he can''t stop loving—secrets guarded by powerful forces who believe murder is an acceptable price for keeping them buried. With his disease-ravaged body''s final betrayal rapidly approaching, Roy must somehow stay alive long enough to find the answers: Who was Delia? How did she die? Why did she die?

Did she die?
