ACT I
The Beauregard plantation looked like a dying animal: magnificent once, now skeletal, its ribs of white columns protruding through peeling paint like bone through rotting flesh. Elias Thorne stood at the gate and felt something he hadn't felt since Boston, something that was almost sympathy. He had come south as a Union intelligence officer, armed with maps and coded messages and a conviction...

The Numbers of Greenwich
The numbers never lied. That was the first thing my father told me, and the first thing I believed, and the last thing I believed. I was thirty-two in the summer of 1925, and I lived in a room above a laundromat on Sullivan Street in Greenwich Village. By day I calculated odds for the numbers runners who operated out of barbershops and grocery stores from Brooklyn to the Bronx. By night I...

The Rust Belt
The machine in the back of the shop had been broken for three weeks. It was a used press brake, bought from a man in Toledo who claimed it had been sitting in a warehouse since 1978 and had never been used. Danny knew better. He had seen the rust on the hydraulic lines. He had seen the way the control panel flickered like a dying heartbeat. But he had bought it anyway, because the monthly...

The Keeper of Blackwood Hall
ACT I: THE ASCENT The fog that clung to Blackwood Hall was not merely weather; it was a presence, a living thing that seeped through the cracks in the stone and settled in the bones of those who remained within its walls. Arthur Blackwood stood at the window of his study, watching the gas lamps flicker along the street below, their amber halos dissolving into the London smog like dying stars....

The Black Signal
The phone rang at 11:47 PM, which was late even for this city, but not late enough to be surprising. Jack Moranne let it ring twice, then reached across the desk and picked up the receiver with his good hand. The bad one—the one that ended at the wrist where the war had taken everything below—was tucked under his arm, holding a half-empty bottle of bourbon and a notebook that contained more...

The Last General
(Act I: The Iron Dawn) The Empire of Oros was a dying beast, its borders fraying and its heart rotten with decadence. Adrian was the only man who still remembered how to fight. A captain of the Guard, he had spent a decade on the frozen frontiers, where the wind howled like a wounded animal and the only law was survival. He didn't care for the court's intrigues; he cared for the men under his...

The House of Maudreil
The road to Oakridge was the kind of road that Southern maps forgot to draw—narrow, unpaved, flanked by cypress trees whose knees rose from the swamp water like the knuckles of drowned men. I drove my rental car slowly, the air conditioning rattling like an old man's breathing, and watched the delta landscape unfold in shades of green and brown and the grey of approaching rain. I was...

The Engineer
The Engineer's Last Shift The numbers on the ionosphere monitor were wrong. Mike Callahan knew this the way a mechanic knows an engine is misfiring—by sound, by feel, by twenty-two years of knowing exactly what every machine in the Brooklyn coal plant was supposed to do. The monitor sat in the corner of the control room, a World War II-era device that had been installed to track atmospheric...

The Seventh Recall
Dr. Edgar Thorne had not slept properly in forty-eight hours. This was not remarkable in itself—Cambridge winters were notorious for their capacity to invade a man's sleep with cold and doubt—but what made his insomnia remarkable was the precise geometry of his wakefulness. He was not tossing and turning or checking his phone or scrolling through articles he would not remember the next morning....

THE PHONE FROM TOMORROW
THE PHONE FROM TOMORROW I The phone rang at 3:47 AM, which is not really a time at all. It's the hour when the city admits it's been lying to you. Jack Morann stared at the rotary phone on his bedside table like it was a dead rat. He had been asleep—or trying to be—in his walk-up on Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, surrounded by empty bottles of Old Fashioned and paperback mysteries that had become...

The Neon Protocol
The courier died in the rain on Level 14, and Riley Cross found him because the rain on Level 14 always drove people into doorways, and the doorway Riley was standing in was adjacent to the doorway the courier was standing in, and the rain had just stopped when the courier collapsed, and Riley had just enough time to reach out, and not quite enough. The package was in the courier's hand when...

The Gold in the Gills
I found it in the sturgeon's stomach, and I remember the weight of it in my palm—heavy, golden, warm from the fish's body. It was a concretion, the marine biologist at the Field Museum would have called it, but I wasn't a marine biologist. I was Arthur Pemberton, twenty-nine years old, standing on the dock at Rock Island with a fish the size of a canoe lying on its side, its gills still...
