The Hollow Partnership
The corner office was on the forty-second floor and it had a view of the East River that Tommy had dreamed about for five years. He stood there now, hands in his pockets, watching the sunset paint the water in shades of copper and rust, and he felt exactly nothing. Not sadness. Not happiness. Not even the dull ache of disappointment that he had expected. Just nothing, which was worse than...

THE CONSENT OF THE HEART
THE CONSENT OF THE HEART The ink was still wet upon the parchment when the first peal of the church bell sounded across Mayfair, and Clara Ashworth stood in her father drawing room with her hands shaking so violently the quill had nearly slipped from her grip. Before her, seated behind the mahogany desk of her father solicitor Mr Whitcombe, sat the man she would marry at half past three that...

The Observer at Five Points
ACT I: THE BOY FROM BROOKLYN I first met James Whitfield in the summer of 1963, when we were both twelve years old and living in the Five Points neighborhood of Manhattan. He was tall for his age, with dark hair and eyes that seemed to take in everything at once. I was smaller, scrappier, the kind of kid who got into fights he couldn't win and then wrote about them in a notebook he kept under...

The Drum's Demand
A Victorian Social Critique Tale When an innocent man faces execution, desperate measures are required to halt the machinery of death. The investigator must decode cryptic clues left by the condemned while racing against time, proving that justice delayed becomes justice denied. The investigation began on a morning when fog clung to the streets like a shroud. Inspector Jonathan Blackwell...

The Pattern in the Mind
The first time I noticed the discrepancy, I thought it was a trick of the fMRI. The machine was humming—that low, resonant thrum that I had come to associate with truth over the past seven years of cognitive neuroscience research. Elena Vasquez lay inside the bore, her head encased in the coil, her eyes closed behind the opaque mask they used to reduce anxiety. On the monitor, her brain lit up...

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...

The Starlight Strain
I first heard about the deaths at a jazz club on West Forty-Sixth Street. It was October 1924, and the rain had been falling on Manhattan for three days straight. The club was called The Velvet Note, a basement establishment behind an unmarked door on Seventh Avenue. I had been sent there by the editor to write a piece on the new dance craze—the Charleston, or whatever it was called this week....

The Glass Horizon
The city of Neo-Kyoto was a forest of obsidian and light, where the rain fell in rhythmic pulses and the wind smelled of ozone and old ink. In the shadow of the Great Spire, where the corporate lords lived in floating gardens, Julian lived in the "Under-City," a labyrinth of neon alleys and steam-filled vents. He was a "Memory-Sculptor," a technician who could prune the traumas of the wealthy,...

The Last Echo of the Empire
## Act I: The Outset The city of Aethelgard was a spire of ivory and gold, the last bastion of the Solar Empire. For a thousand years, it had been the center of the known world, a place of unmatched art, science, and luxury. But the gold was peeling, and the ivory was cracking. The empire was not falling to an enemy from without, but to a rot from within. The nobility spent their days in a haze...

The House That Remembered
The Thorne estate sat on a hill in the Mississippi delta, surrounded by live oaks that looked like they were holding their breath. Bell Thorne was twenty-six and the last person with the deed, which was not the same thing as having the means to keep what the deed described. The house was falling apart. The roof leaked in seventeen places that Bell had marked with chalk X's on the ceiling of the...

The Observer at Five Points
I. The basement smelled like damp concrete and the cheap coffee Mrs. O'Brien made, which was not coffee at all but something brown and hot that she called coffee because it was easier than explaining. I was thirty years old, and I had been living in this basement for eight months. The apartment above the basement was where Mrs. O'Brien lived—with her cat, her radio, and her opinion that I was a...
