Black SignalThe letter arrived on a Thursday, which was unlucky enough, but the handwriting inside was worse. Jack Vargo read it three times. Each time, it said the same thing: The signal is beautiful. Do not let them hear it. The signature was Dr. Richard Halstead's—loopy, precise, the writing of a man who believed that the way you formed your letters reflected the way you formed your thoughts. Vargo lit...0 Comments 0 Shares 9 Views 0 Reviews

Dark SignalThe woman walked into my office on a Tuesday in November of 1947, and she did not look like a woman whose husband had vanished into the classified research programs of the United States Air Force. She looked like a woman who had not slept in a week and was trying very hard to pretend otherwise. Her name was Helen Reeves. She was forty-eight years old, and she had her husband's eyes — wide,...0 Comments 0 Shares 7 Views 0 Reviews

Dead SignalAct I The rain in Los Angeles doesn't wash anything clean. It just makes the dirt wetter. I was sitting in my office on Sunset Boulevard, drinking whiskey from a bottle that had lost its label somewhere between the liquor store and the bottom of my desk, when the door opened and she walked in. She was Russian, or Russian-looking—the kind of woman who had survived things that would make most...0 Comments 0 Shares 8 Views 0 Reviews
