Title: The Clockwork Companion
Arthur lived in a house that breathed dust and dampness, a crumbling Victorian estate on the edge of a moor that seemed to swallow the light. He was a man of science, or so he told the few solicitors who still visited, but in truth, he was a curator of obsolescence. His rooms were filled with rusted astrolabes and half-finished automata that ticked with a frantic, dying rhythm. One Tuesday,...

The Last Dance at the Halo
The champagne in Paris does not taste like celebration. It tastes like relief—the relief of people who have survived a war they did not ask to fight and are now drinking to forget that the fighting stopped. Hazel Winthrop knew this because she had tasted it herself, in a glass that had cost more than her monthly rent, in a room full of Americans who had come to Paris to escape something and...

Sample V-04: The Glass Ceiling
(Act I: The Spark) Modern Manhattan is a forest of glass and steel, where the air is thin and the egos are thick. Kevin, a junior analyst with a degree from Yale and a crushing sense of inadequacy, met Simon during his first week at the firm. Simon was a legend—a senior partner who could predict market crashes like a weather vane predicts wind. Simon took Kevin under his wing, not as an...

The Housekeeper's Secret
The manor of Blackwood Hall was a place of velvet curtains and suffocating silence. I have spent twenty years as the housekeeper here, a ghost in a black dress, moving through the corridors like a shadow. I know where the dust settles and where the secrets are buried. I know that Mr. Thorne, the master of the house, is a man who enjoys the sound of other people's spirits breaking. There was a...

The Greenhouse at Twlight
Miss Eleanor Vance arrived at St. Catherines Academy on a Tuesday in early March, carrying two trunks and a letter of introduction that smelled faintly of mildew. The headmistress, a woman whose jaw could have split stone, took one look at Eleanor's shabby travelling coat and said, "You will be in the bottom form. Do not expect special treatment, Miss Vance." Eleanor smiled—a bright, practiced...

The Last Set at Small's Parlor
Samuel Harper knew rhythm the way other men knew prayer. He had spent the first thirty-five years of his life on stages from Harlem to Chicago, playing piano through smoky jazz clubs where the music was hot and the drinks were cold and the night never ended. He had played with men who could make the piano sing—Art Tatum, Fats Waller, a young Thelonious Monk whose ideas were too far ahead of the...

The Magnolia Trap
Act I Lilian DuBois woke before dawn, as she always did in Natchez, the way women in her family had woken before dawn since 1842 when her great-grandfather built the house that now sighed beneath her bare feet. The floorboards groaned in the hallway — the third board from the bedroom door always did, a sound like a tired spine shifting in sleep. She walked through the dark rooms touching the...

The Ethics of the Cure
The sterile white halls of the New York Medical Institute were designed to eliminate doubt. Dr. Elena was the star of the Neuro-Genetics department, a woman whose intellect was as sharp as the scalpels she used. She was on the verge of a breakthrough: a viral vector that could permanently cure Huntington's disease, a death sentence for thousands. The cure was perfect, except for one...

The first time I noticed Jimmy was changing, I did not call it changing. I called it efficiency.
March 12, 2010. 11:47 PM. Trauma bay three. Patient: unnamed male, late forties, stab wound to the abdomen. Jimmy was on him in seconds—scalpel, clamp, suction, the whole ballet practiced a thousand times in the operating rooms of NYU and rehearsed a thousand more in the emergency department where we were both supposed to be residents but neither of us was anymore because the program had...

The Debt of Lord Arthur
The air in the counting room was always stale, as though the money itself had absorbed the breath of every clerk who had ever leaned over it. Arthur Pendelton did not remember the last time he had breathed anything that did not taste of damp and regret. The debt was forty-seven thousand pounds. Not forty-six. Not forty-eight. Forty-seven, precisely, as though the universe had calculated it with...

THE QUIET DESPERATION
Tom Callahan was under Mrs. Kowalski's sink at 6:15 a.m., fixing a leak that smelled like cabbage and copper. The water was cold. His back hurt the way it always hurt now — a dull, constant ache that had nothing to do with any particular injury and everything to do with eleven years of working with his hands after the steel mill closed. He tightened the nut with his wrench, wiped his hands on...

A Single Spark
The thing that broke everything was a receipt. I found it in the glove compartment of the green Chevrolet three days after Vincent Cross walked into my office. The car was parked in the abandoned gas station in the Mojave, its engine cold, its glass cylinder empty, its brain removed for maintenance. Vicky Cross had left it there while she went into town for supplies, and I had followed her,...
