  • The Langley Inheritance
    The Langley Inheritance ACT I Maeve O'Brien arrived at St. Jude's Academy on a Tuesday in August, which was appropriate because Tuesdays were the kind of days that didn't care whether you were ready for them or not. She arrived in a dress that her mother had made from a curtain pattern and a pair of shoes that had been her older sister's and a mind full of borrowed books and a determination...

  • [The Architectural Void Perspective]
    Concrete and Invisibility The rain in Chicago does not wash things clean. It makes everything worse. It turns coal dust into sludge, sludge into a kind of black paste that sticks to your shoes and follows you home, and home is usually a bar or a apartment with peeling wallpaper and a radiator that clicks like a dying metronome. Silas Mercer knew this. He had lived in Chicago long enough to know...

  • The Star Beacon of Montparnasse
    The signal arrived on a Wednesday in November, 1923, and by Friday everyone in the astronomy community was arguing about it and nobody was certain what they were arguing about. Jack Callahan didn't care about the astronomy community. He was an American expat living in a garret on Rue de la Gaité, writing for the Chicago Tribune's Paris bureau about cabaret singers and failed painters, and...

  • The Buried Legacy
    The fire started on a Thursday in October, which was fitting, because everything important in the Winslow family had always happened on a Thursday. Silas Winslow stood on the hill above the estate and watched the flames consume what his grandparents had called home, what his parents had called a tomb, and what he had called nothing at all. The roof went first, then the east wing, then the part...

    The elevator in the Goldman building had a mirror that Emily Chen avoided. Not because she was vain—she wasn't—but because the reflection always looked back at her with the same tired eyes she saw every morning in the bathroom sink. Thirty-four years old, hair pulled back in a practical knot, suit chosen to project competence rather than personality. She looked like everything she covered and...

  • 02_last_dance_lenox
    The Last Dance at Lenox The stage lights hit Josephine Williams like a physical blow and she did not flinch. Not because she was not afraid, but because fear was a luxury that dancers on the Lenox Avenue stage could not afford. At twenty-four, Josie was the star of the Shadow Dancers, a vaudeville troupe that had taken Harlem by storm three months running. The music ended. The applause rose...

  • The Calloway Report
    ACT I The embryo scored 9.2 on the HelixCorp Awakening Potential Index. Which meant it was probably going to be sold to a defense contractor. Jack Calloway sat in his cubicle on the forty-second floor of the HelixCorp tower in lower Manhattan, staring at the genomic sequence on his monitor, and thought about his coffee going cold. The office air conditioning was set to sixty-eight degrees...

  • The Superposition of Dr. Alana Vest
    The ice core came up from the Greenland ice sheet at 3:47 PM on September 12, 2024, and it contained a layer of air that should not have existed. Dr. Alana Vest was the first person to see it. She was sitting in the sample processing tent at Summit Station, three hundred kilometers from the nearest settlement, wearing a parka that had been designed to survive temperatures that would freeze the...

  • The Outsider's Debt
    I remember the first time I saw Leo Sterling. He was wearing a suit that looked like it had been salvaged from a dumpster fire, and he was eating a slice of greasy pizza while leaning against the glass walls of my office. I am the CEO of Vance Capital; I deal in billions, not in people who wear flip-flops to a board meeting. "You're my fiancé, Maya," he had said, his voice a lazy drawl that...

  • THE WIDOW OF OAKHAVEN
    Oakhaven Plantation, Louisiana, 1954 The house on Cypress Road looked like something that had been left behind by time—a white-columned antebellum mansion half-swallowed by Spanish moss and the kind of Southern humidity that made everything glisten with damp inevitability. The ironwork around the porch had rusted into abstract shapes that resembled vines more than the scrollwork they'd once...

  • THE HOLLOW MERIDIAN
    ACT I: THE LOCKED ROOM (20%) The rifle was too heavy for Corinne to lift. It was an old thing—World War I era, maybe older, with a walnut stock worn smooth by a hundred hands and a barrel that had seen more use than any weapon should. It sat on a shelf in the Thorne family library, behind glass, and every person who had entered that room since 1919 had left with the same instruction from...
