The roof leaked into a coffee pot. The coffee pot sat under the leak. It had been there for three weeks. Ray had meant to move it. He hadn't.
His trailer was on the edge of Youngstown, Ohio — not the Youngstown of the old newspapers, when the steel mills employed twenty thousand people and the downtown was full of people who believed in something, any something, at three in the morning. This was the Youngstown of now: a town that had been hollowed out and filled with dollar stores and vacant lots and a community center where Ray...

The Sword at Blackmoor
Act I: The Call The fog came in off the moors like a slow tide, swallowing the stone walls of Blackmoor Manor whole. Edmund Ashworth stood at the window of his father's study and watched it move, his reflection ghosting against the glass. At twenty-two, he had inherited his father's sharp features and his mother's stubborn jaw, and neither had prepared him for what waited ahead. Three days....

THE FROST OF BETRAYAL
Frank Kowalski stood in the parking lot of the Great Lakes Manufacturing plant with a cardboard box in his hands. The box contained a lunch pail, a framed photo of his wife and son, a set of wrenches, and a company watch he had not earned. The factory gates were locked. A chain hung across the entrance like a dead rope. He looked at the building. It had been his life for twenty-three years. Now...

The Velvet Shadow
(Paranormal Romance Variation) Clara lived in a house that breathed. It was an old Victorian estate on the edge of a cliff in Cornwall, where the wind howled like a wounded animal and the sea crashed against the rocks with a rhythmic, violent hunger. Clara was a restoration artist, spending her days breathing life back into faded canvases, but her nights were spent in the company of a ghost....

The Silent Archive
October 12, 1942. Dearest Clara, I am writing this from a room that smells of damp limestone and old ink. They have moved me to the archives of the Ministry of Records. It is a vast, subterranean labyrinth where the history of our city is being systematically rewritten. My job is simple: I find the discrepancies between the old reports and the new directives, and I erase them. I am a ghost,...

The Signal Operator
**Queens, New York** The coffee machine in the break room was broken again. I kicked it once—hard, but not hard enough to damage it, just hard enough to express my opinion—and it worked for maybe ten more minutes before giving up entirely. That was fine. I didn't really want coffee. I wanted to go home and sleep for a week. It was 6:47 AM on a Tuesday in March 2015. I was working the night...

Blood and Magnolias
The Spanish moss hanging from the live oaks along Cypress Lane did not sway so much as it hung, like laundry left to dry on a line that had not been pulled in thirty years. Bell Thorne stood on the porch of the house that had been her family's for four generations and watched the rain fall in sheets that turned the dirt road into a river, and she thought about how water, left long enough, could...

The Black Signal
The rain in Chicago doesn't wash anything clean. It just makes the grime slicker. I sat in my car parked outside the abandoned warehouse on the South Side and watched the water run down the windshield wipers in thick grey streaks. The engine was off. The radio was off. The only sound was the rain and the occasional hiss of a bus braking two blocks away. I had been sitting here for forty...

The Ledger of a Ghost
(Act I: The Glass Tower) From the 42nd floor of the Sterling-Hedge Tower, the people of New York looked like ants, and their lives felt like statistics. Marcus was the apex predator of this concrete jungle, a man who could move billions with a single keystroke. He was the "Invisible Hand," the man who decided which companies lived and which died. He lived in a world of tailored suits and silent...

The Rain-Slicked Crown
(Act I: The Neon Puddle) Los Angeles in 1947 was a city of beautiful lies and ugly truths. Detective Miller sat in his office, the ceiling fan cutting through a thick haze of Lucky Strikes and regret. He had once been the golden boy of the LAPD, but a few "convenient" bribes and a taste for the high life had turned him into a freelance cleaner for the city's underworld. He didn't mind the dirt;...

The Starlight Protocol
**Manhattan, 1924** The conference hall at the Plaza Hotel smelled of cigarette smoke and expensive perfume. Thomas Webb sat in the back row, half-listening to a professor from Princeton drone on about the thermodynamic implications of stellar evolution. Thomas was thirty-two, a sociology lecturer at Yale, and he had learned long ago that the most effective way to survive an academic conference...

The Ferry to Raven's Point
The rain in New York has a way of making everything look the same. Same grey sky, same grey streets, same grey men in grey coats hurrying past each other with their collars turned up and their heads down. I was one of those men, or I had been, until the gun incident made me somebody else. Now I was Jack Murray, former NYPD, current PI, and the guy you call when you need something done that the...
