The cops call the dockside neighborhoods of Moretown Bay "South of 40th." The locals call it The Shadows. Anything illegal with a magical bent can be bought or sold in The Shadows, and in this neighborhood, drug deals and prostitution and territorial skirmishes among the goblin gangs don't hold a candle to the real crimes that go on behind closed doors.
Most humans don't venture into The Shadows after midnight, but Rory's not like most humans. He's searching for an answer in the only place he believes he can find it -- among the changelings who work the streets in The Shadows.
Changelings who can be anyone for a price.
Even Rory's murdered wife.
"A friend recommended the works of Annie Reed. I was not disappointed. In fact, if her other shorts are as good as this one, I plan to read many more." -- Carol Davis Luce, author of NIGHT GAME
"The appearance of a new Annie Reed story is a treat. Try one and you'll be hooked." -- Dave Hendrickson, author of CRACKING THE ICE, forthcoming from WestSide Press
Annie Reed is a prolific writer whose fiction has been published in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine as well as in numerous anthologies from Daw and Pocket Books.
