Laureen Fortune, still foxy at forty, visits the Arecibo Observatory as guest of former lover Kelly Collins, an astronomer from the University of Chicago.

Laureen knows several of these as long-ago friends and/or lovers, brought together by the Observatorys unique attractions. Laureen inhales the tortured history and mixed-up culture of the Isle of Enchantment until the idyll is broken one day by the discovery at dawn of a body that has fallen from the suspended structure, pierced the dish, and been disemboweled in the process.

She chooses not to reveal her solution to the investigating authorities, which, for their own reasons, would prefer not to be told. _,
