A Final Day in the City is a novel which covers a day in the lives of Lucy Weathers, a high school history teacher in Seattle, Washington, and Dix, a member of a mysterious group of individuals who are given extreme powers and charged with killing various people, people who are seemingly chosen at random by an unknown higher power. Dix's present task is to kill Lucy, but Lucy, for reasons unfathomable, is given a 24 hour reprieve. In that period, Dix and Lucy traverse Seattle in a desperate attempt to discover why she has been chosen, and if there is any way for either of them to avoid their fates.
