Beneath the LighthouseBeneath the LighthouseThe sea did not care. Conall O'Sullivan understood this on the third day, when the boat that had brought him to the islet failed to return because the weather turned, and he was left standing on the rocky shore watching the grey water swallow the boat the way a mouth swallows a word that should not have been said.The lighthouse rose behind him — a white cylinder eight...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 91 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

Fog Over the LighthouseThe envelope came on a Tuesday, which was fitting because Tuesdays in Los Angeles were the color of wet cement and smelled like exhaust from the 101. Jack Callahan was sitting at his desk in the Central Division homicide unit, trying to finish a report on a meth-head who had been shot during a robbery that nobody had witnessed, when the envelope slid through the gap between his door and the...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 14 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Bone LighthouseAct I The letter arrived on a Tuesday, carried by a runner whose boots left wet footprints across Elias Hartwell's stone floor. He read it by the light of the oil lamp, the words swimming before his eyes not from any failing of vision but from a sudden and absolute certainty that fifteen years of his life had been nullified by thirty lines of bureaucratic prose. The Admiralty had decreed the...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 7 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Bone LighthouseThe fog did not lift that morning. It never did, not really, at the Ashcroft Manor on the Cornwall coast, where the sea had been eating the cliff for three centuries and the manor had been eating itself for three. Eleanor Ashcroft arrived with the tide. She had been summoned by letter — three words on cream-colored paper, signed by a solicitor named Mr. Whitcombe: "Come at once. A death." No...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 10 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Bone LighthouseShe came to the rock at dusk, as all Hartwells had come to the rock for one hundred and forty years. Eleanor stood on the deck of the supply boat, one canvas bag at her feet, the North Sea wind tearing at her coat. The lighthouse rose before her like a bone finger—white stone, blackened by a century of salt and smoke, its lantern room glowing faint amber against the bruised purple sky. She had...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 30 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Bone LighthouseThe rain in London did not wash things clean. It made the grime slicker. Arthur Blackwell had walked these streets for seven years, watching it happen, night after night, the rain falls, the gas lamps bleed their orange halos into the wet cobblestones, and nothing changes. He was a man of small habits and large silences. Every evening at six o'clock, he wound the resonance chambers beneath the...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 8 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Bone LighthouseThe rain in London did not cleanse. It made the soot slicker, turned the streets into rivers of black oil that reflected the gaslights like a second, corrupted sky. I knew this well. I had walked these streets for three years since the Royal Veterinary Association revoked my license. Three years of fog and fallen reputation and Lord Ashworth's patronage—a patronage that smelled of opium and...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 5 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen

The Golden CrossingThe Golden Crossing By Eleanor Ashworth The fog crept over the Channel like a living thing, swallowing the white cliffs whole. Inside the lighthouse tower, Lady Eleanor Vane stood at the observation window, her breath fogging the cold glass, and watched the English coast dissolve into nothing. Three weeks. It had been three weeks since she last saw land that wasn't an island of stone and...0 Kommentare 0 Geteilt 9 Ansichten 0 Bewertungen
