The Empty Menagerie
Part One: The Wrong Case Jack Callahan had been a pilot in the Pacific before the war, and after the war he had been a drunk, and after the drunk he had been a detective, and by 1947 he had learned that most cases were the same thing wearing different clothes. A husband suspects his wife. A wife suspects her husband. A business partner suspects another business partner. The geometry of betrayal...

The Silent Wake
(Act I: The Breach) The fog in Blackwood Cove didn't just drift; it clung. Arthur lay in a mahogany box, the silence of the mortuary pressing against his eardrums like deep water. Then came the voices. His cousins, Silas and Mordecai, their tones stripped of any mourning, sounding instead like vultures circling a fresh kill. "The boy is a liability," Silas hissed, the sound of a gold pocket...

The Story Inside the Ad Inside the Man
Arthur Pendelton worked in advertising because he believed that words had power. Not the power to sell products, though he was very good at that. He believed that words had the power to shape reality, to create worlds out of language, to make people see themselves in new ways and therefore live themselves in new ways. By 1957, Arthur was thirty-eight years old and the youngest senior partner at...

The Architecture of Two Souls
The absinthe in our glasses was the colour of bad decisions, which is to say it was green. I preferred it to wine — wine was for people who believed in moderation, and I had long ago abandoned that particular delusion. It was 1893, and London was a city divided between those who pretended the world made sense and those who knew it did not. I belonged to the second group, which is to say I...

The Eighth Bottle
The Eighth Bottle I. Dr. Grace Whitfield had spent twelve years learning how to read people. It was not a metaphor—she literally read them, the way a musician reads a score, the way a detective reads a crime scene. Microexpressions, posture shifts, pupil dilation, speech patterns, the spaces between words. These were the notes on her page, and her patients were the music they played whether...

The Phantom Chair of Building 4
The first photograph I took of Gregory was not really a photograph at all. It was an absence. I pointed my camera at his study at MIT — Building 4, room 127, the one with the wide window that looked out over the grey expanse of the Charles River — and I pressed the shutter. The flash went off, a momentary spark of artificial lightning that bleached the shadows from the corners of the room. The...

One Wrong Bottle on Division Street
Rinaldo Costello did not believe in luck, good or bad, and that was why he had survived twelve years in the liquor business while most of the men he had started with were dead or in Joliet. He believed in arithmetic. He believed that every transaction could be broken down into its constituent parts and understood, that every outcome had a cause and every cause could be traced backward through...

V-12: The Echo of Solitude
The rain in New York did not fall; it dissolved. It turned the skyscrapers into grey monoliths and the people into blurred streaks of umbrellas and haste. Clara lived in a studio apartment in Queens, a space so small that her books and her medical equipment seemed to be breathing in unison. She was a practitioner of holistic medicine, but her true specialty was the architecture of silence. She...

Echoes of the Electric Soul: Dawn of Reason
Narrative perspective: A more spiritual/metaphysical approach to the wires and signals. New York, 1924. The city breathed jazz and exhaled cigarette smoke, and in the spaces between the notes, Thomas O'Connell was building something that might change the world or destroy it. Probably both. The Resonance Network existed on paper—a stack of blueprints spread across Thomas's desk in a walk-up...

The champagne in New Atlantis bubbled like liquid ambition, and James Thorne watched it with the detached fascination of a man who understood exactly how much it cost and how little it meant.
He had been twenty-four when the current hit him—the live wire during a market crash that should have ended his career and instead delivered him to this world, to this body: James Thorne, twenty-four, heir to a once-great magical family now reduced to a crumbling townhouse and a mountain of debts. In his old life, James had been a hedge fund manager. He had built portfolios that outperformed...

No River Crossing
No River Crossing The rain in Los Angeles doesn't wash things clean. It just makes the dirt wetter. I knew this because I'd spent the last three years in Skid Row watching the rain try and fail. I'd watched it turn the garbage in the alley behind the Sunset Diner into a soup that smelled like regret and fried onions. I'd watched it pool in the cracks of the sidewalk and reflect the neon sign of...
