Summary
Martin Blackwood is an up and coming junior reporter for the Daily Thread. Jonathan Bouchard is the notorious husband of this city’s biggest crime boss. He’s bad news wrapped in a red dress and topped off with lipstick, but he’s also Martin's only lead on the mysterious murder of Ms. Gertrude Robinson.
Martin’s booked himself a one way ticket on this runaway train. The only stop now is the truth.

Summary
Kosma Laszlo sits on her throne, one leg folded over the other, lounging back in an exceptionally casual way that clearly says she is not intimidated at all to have the Prime Consector of the Trust aboard her ship. It is her ship, after all. Why should she be intimidated?
That’s not the first thing Jonas notices, though. Because to the side of that throne, legs bent beneath him as he kneels on the floor, is Phineas Thatch.
Phineas looks different than Jonas remembers. For one, he’s not on Midst. Or dead, which is how Spahr’s been picturing him recently. He’s also scragglier. He’s grown a bit of a poorly trimmed beard. His armor is gone, replaced by a clean uniform with Baron Laszlo’s insignia embroidered on the chest. He’s also wearing a leather dog collar that is attached via metal chain to the foot of Lazlo’s throne.
Ohhhh shit.

Summary
“Hey, Jon?” Martin isn’t moving. He sturdies himself, holding Jon back like an anchor. If Jon wanted to go, all he’d have to do is drop Martin’s hand, but he can’t. They’re holding hands. They’re meant to be holding hands. “Why did you say my mother was dead?”
“I don’t know,” Jon runs his free hand through his messy curls. When had his hair gotten so long? “It just popped into my head like a passing thought, like something I heard somewhere once. We haven’t known each other that long, Martin, I’m sure I just mixed you up with someone else at the Institute.”
“Like a memory?” Martin asks, quietly.
“Sure,” Jon says. “Like a memory.”
***
Between phantom earthquakes and visions of a terrifying future, something is very, very wrong at the Institute. And only Jon and Martin can see it.
