  • "Reeling from nearly total economic, political, and moral collapse, the United States some twenty years from now is a shadow of its former self. But 85 percent of the population doesn't care: they're addicted to flashback, a drug that allows its users to reexperience the best moments of their lives. After former detective Nick Bottom's wife died in a car accident, he began going under the flash to be with her; now an addict, he's lost his job, he's estranged from his teenage son, and he makes his home in an overcrowded space carved out of an abandoned shopping mall. Nick may be a lost soul, but he's still a good cop. So when a top governmental advisor hires him to look into the five-year-old murder of his son, his investigation turns up more than he bargained for -- and more than his new boss wants him to know. Soon Nick becomes the one man who can change the course of a nation turning away from tomorrow to live in the past."@en

  • "Running from a proposal of marriage from Sheriff Paul Davidson, Anna Pigeon takes a post as a temporary supervisory ranger on remote Garden Key in Dry Tortugas National Park, a small grouping of tiny islands in a natural harbor seventy miles off Key West. This island paradise has secrets it would keep; not just in the present, but in shadows from its gritty past, when it served as a prison for the Lincoln conspirators during and after the Civil War. Here, on this last lick of the United States, in a giant crumbling fortress, Anna has little company except for an occasional sunburned tourist or unruly shrimper. When her sister, Molly, sends her a packet of letters from her great-great-aunt who lived at the fort with her husband, a career soldier, Anna's fantasy life is filled with visions of this long-ago time."@en

  • "The nuns called her Eve when they found her lying unconscious in a Burgundy field. She had no possessions apart from a Tangier ferry ticket -- not even her memory, though her accent suggests she is American. The convent has been her home since then -- a simple, tranquil life. Then one night, while Eve is away, a dozen camouflaged men make their way through the convent, murdering the sisters in cold blood. Only Sister Heloise escapes. And she tells Eve that the men had been focused on looking for one person, the American. With no idea why the men wanted to find her so badly, Eve must flee. Her only clue is the ferry ticket. She heads for Tangier on a desperate journey in search of her identity and her history. But the precious knowledge may be more terrible than she can imagine."@en
