Produktbeschreibung
On October 8, 1871, a fire broke out in a barn on the South Side of Chicago. Over the course of the next three days, the booming industrial metropolis suffered tragedy after tragedy. Thousands of lives were lost, and the windy city itself was left in ruin. But another strange event occurred that first fateful day; the St. Clairs of the Clarion Division arrived from the future. Now, a year since the catastrophe, River, the district's coroner, and her brother Archer, the police inspector, are on the hunt for a murderer, a monster. After all, who else would burn a man alive? In Chicago, no less. Regardless of the horrors the investigation renews, the St. Clairs are duty-bound to seek justice. It's what they do; that much hasn't changed. They will find Aubrey Milner's killer and maybe lay to rest a ghost or two of their own. With a cast of quirky characters and an intriguing who-dun-it with a hint of romance, fans of female sleuths, steampunk, and time-travel mysteries will enjoy the Windy City Files series. Get to know the Chicago St. Clairs today. *Content warning: Adult language and violence
Autorenporträt
Ellison Blackburn lives with some of her favorite beings in Seattle, Washington. An early interest in the soft sciences, together with a career in information technology, ignited her curiosity in singularities many years ago. Thus, Ellison pens fiction that seems to crash like a wave over individual lives but rather leave a wake across societies too, stories that present multiple speculative ideas at once-because in real life, singularities will not manifest one after another in an orderly fashion. Among her published works are Flash Back, book one of the women's speculative fiction Fountain trilogy; If There Be Giants, book one of science fiction and speculative fiction Watchers duology; An Untimely End, book one of the science fiction and historical mystery series, the Windy City Files; and the cyberpunk dystopian fiction novella Virtue Us, the Future of Love.
