Can too much insight be dangerous? Jack Toyokata, a coder in the Seattle high-tech world, begins experiencing severe memory loss and resorts to an Internet supplement called InSight. Remarkably, the supplement works, but it has side-effects. Jack begins experiencing dreams of past murders from the victim’s point of view. With the help of an FBI agent, they discover the murders are related, and connected to a worldwide shipping magnate, Lightfoot, who they suspect is smuggling illegal wildlife. Through the dreams, Jack encounters an elephant guide named Peho who leads Jack through a labyrinth of smuggling and murder in a nail-biting race for justice. A Buddhist monk, a new love, and an exciting career emerge from the ashes.
