When a long-lost painting turns up at Brush & Bevel, a decade-old mystery is reawakened. What really happened to artist Jerry Berger and his model Abby Bingham? Was it a murder-suicide, as the police proclaim, or was it something far more sinister? Gallery owner Ginny Brent and her loyal staffers, Sue Bradley and Elsie Kimball, each take a different path to unravel the mystery. Together, their discoveries start to form a cohesive whole. But as they get closer to the solution, they discover to their horror that art is not the only thing that can be framed.

The exiled timeship Slipstream has turned renegade, refusing the call to return to Homeworld. Instead, the ship heads toward Earth and a reunion with the humans who shared its last adventure. The High Council of Homeworld must send three inexperienced Timers to retrieve Slipstream before it can damage the timeline and alter the course of the future. However, their explosive arrival precipitates unsettling changes on the volatile planet: communications satellites drift out of orbit and combative governments accuse each other of sabotage. A few rare time-sensitives experience disorienting episodes of alternate time. One of these time-sensitives is racing driver Marti Hansen, who suffers a devastating accident-or does she? Her new husband, rock superstar Derek Hamilton, feels the urgent need to work for Team HansenRacing, which doesn't even exist-yet. His musical collaborator Zora Covell and her husband Harry are suddenly thrust into new roles: the reserved Zora sings onstage with Derek, and Harry finds himself competing in a Grand Prix, though he has never driven a race car! All four humans and the three inexperienced Timers discover depths of loving and courage that they never expected. Can they work together to avoid a catastrophe? And will the mysterious, starry nightgems stored in Slipstream's lockers help or hinder their quest?

Marti Hansen, celebrated racing driver, is poised to win the championship for the second straight year. Derek Hamilton, her rock-star lover, is planning to record an enchanting little ditty with his unlikely collaborator, Zora Covell. The trio have no inkling that they are about to meet a visitor from the future who will lead them on an adventure that will change their lives-and influence the very course of the galaxy! Patrolling the timelines for the High Council, Enicar-Rilon pinpoints the genesis of the violence currently wracking all known civilizations. Defying the highest law of Homeworld, the Timer hastens to a small planet circling a nondescript sun, only to discover allies undreamed of -and devastating personal consequences!
