THE MIRROR IN THE BASEMENT
ACT I: THE WINDOWLESS ROOM Lord Alistair Finch-Worthingham inherited Blackwood Park on a Tuesday in November, which seemed appropriate: Tuesdays were the kind of days on which serious things happened—inheritances, deaths, the slow realization that one's life has been a performance for an audience that stopped watching years ago. The house was exactly as one might expect a country house named...

The patient from below
Dr. Eleanor Hart had been coming to the Blackwood Institute for three weeks when she first heard the word transfiguration. The patient who said it was in Room 217—the highest security room on the fourth floor, where the walls were padded with beige fabric that had been stained by decades of fingerprints, heads thrown against them in moments of despair, and hands pressed flat in moments of...

THE THREE VERSIONS OF ISABEL
The rain in Alaska does not wash things clean. It only makes the permafrost slicker, turns the tundra into a sponge that holds everything it touches and refuses to let go. I stood on the observation deck of the climate research station outside Fairbanks and watched the aurora borealis paint the sky in greens and purples, the colors shifting like the data on the monitors behind me, each reading...

The Woman Without Hands
The rain in New York does not wash things clean. It makes everything worse. It turns the soot on the sidewalks to a black paste that sticks to your shoes, your pants, your soul. Ellen Corwin knew this better than most. She had been walking for eleven hours. Her right arm was a memory. Her left arm ended in a stump that had stopped bleeding two days ago, when the cold had frozen the wounds shut....

The Last Flight at the Halo
The jazz was terrible. Tommy Calloway knew this because he had played it himself, once, before the war, when he was twenty-one and still believed that music could save you. Now he sat in a basement bar on 52nd Street and listened to a saxophone player who could not play and a pianist who would not stop and a crowd of men and women who were trying very hard to forget that the war was over and...

The Last Bastion
The winter of 1944 was a white shroud that covered the Ardennes forest. Captain Julian Thorne sat in a frozen foxhole, his breath a plume of frost in the moonlight. He had risen from a frightened private to a company commander in six months, not through ambition, but through the sheer, bloody necessity of survival. Julian was the "Lucky Captain." He had a knack for reading the terrain and a...

THE LAST LIGHT OF NEW CARTHAGE
I found Grandfather's diary in the cellar on a Tuesday in October, 1872. The house was cold—the coal fire had been banked too early, as it always is when one lives alone—and the smell of damp stone and forgotten things rose to meet me as I descended the narrow stairs with a candle in my hand. There, behind a stack of water-stained furniture covers, in a tin box whose lock had rusted solid, was...

THE CONTAGION
I. The door was in the basement of a building that didn't have a basement. Jack Morretti had been hired to find a missing woman—Margaret Linney, thirty-two, worked at an insurance company on Fifth Avenue, lived in an apartment on the Upper West Side. She'd stopped coming home three weeks ago. Her husband, a mild-mannered actuary named Linney, had called Jack because the police had told him to...

The Mirror at Blackthorne
The rain in London does not fall so much as it accumulates, layer by attenuated layer, until the city is nothing more than a watercolor painting left out in a storm. Reginald Ashworth had lived through eleven London rains by November 1891, but this one was different—not in its intensity or its duration, but in the particular way it blurred the boundaries between the east and the west, making...

THE SIGNAL FROM LILY BRENNAN
The office was on State Street, third floor of a building that smelled of boiled cabbage and old plumbing and the faint, sweet-sour smell of whiskey that seeped up from the bar downstairs. It was a small office—just a desk, a chair, a filing cabinet that stuck when you pulled the second drawer, and a window that looked out over a brick wall so close I could touch it if I leaned far enough out...

The Midnight Signal
I. The jazz was still playing when Claire McCarthy walked into the underground bar on 52nd Street, though the band had long since switched from Charleston to a slow blues that hung in the smoky air like a question nobody wanted to answer. She was twenty-six, Columbia University journalism school graduate, and three weeks earlier she had been the newest investigative reporter at the New York...

The Calculus of Betrayal
Clara Vance did not believe in justice; she believed in optimization. As a senior partner at Sterling & Cross, New York's most ruthless law firm, Clara had turned the practice of law into a series of mathematical problems. She had developed the "Equity Algorithm," a proprietary model that could analyze thousands of precedents, judge temperaments, and political climates to calculate the "Optimal...
