Arthur Pendelton had been dead three years when the truth about the lenses came to light. But in the months before his death, he had seen more than most Londoners ever would.He had returned to his daughter's house on Kensington Park Gardens in the autumn of 1888, frail and confused, his mind still patchy from the three years he had spent at Dr. Morrison's private asylum. The physicians had called it nervous exhaustion. Arthur called it the fog. He remembered the fog most vividly—the way it had descended in 1885, the way it had swallowed his poetry, the way it had...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 6 Views 0 previzualizare

As I wrote, I realized something, I wasn't writing mathematics. I was writing my death warrant.The Brooklyn apartment smelled of stale tobacco and desperation. Three ashtrays on the dining table, each one a graveyard of cigarette butts. My fingers moved across the paper like a pianist who had forgotten how to play but could not stop anyway. The equations came in waves. Wave after wave of symbols and numbers, each one a door I was opening, each one a lock I was breaking. The Cohen...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 13 Views 0 previzualizare

Ball of DeathThe briefing room at Langley had no windows, which was appropriate, because there was nothing outside worth looking at. Corrigan sat across the steel table from me and slid a manila folder across the surface. It stopped at my elbows. Inside was a single photograph: a scorched concrete wall with three perfect circular holes, each one the size of a dinner plate, and through each hole I could see...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 8 Views 0 previzualizare

Death CardThe body was found behind the bleachers at Lincoln High on a Thursday morning, which was inconvenient because Thursdays were the only day Ruth Calder had free period and the only day she wanted to sleep in. Detective O\'Malley—her old teacher, Mr. O\'Malley, the man who had taught her journalism and still called her "Calder" even though she wasn\'t his student anymore—stood over the body with a...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 14 Views 0 previzualizare

Evan Black saw things that weren't there. Always had, since the war, since the accident, since the day he'd watched his partner's head explode into red mist and realized that death was not dramatic...He stood in the penthouse apartment on the Upper East Side and looked out at Manhattan through floor-to-ceiling windows that cost more than most people earned in a decade. The city stretched out below him, a grid of light and shadow, and he could see the patterns in it if he concentrated hard enough. The way the streets formed a giant neural network. The way the buildings were synapses firing...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 3 Views 0 previzualizare

Fugue of DeathThe White Plague did not kill you. It erased you. First your color left. Your skin turned the white of paper. Your hair turned the white of snow. Your eyes turned the white of milk. Then your voice left. Then your memory. Then everything else. I am Konrad Weber. I am forty-five years old. I was the youngest conductor in the history of the Vienna State Opera. I conducted Wagner's Ring Cycle when...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 14 Views 0 previzualizare
