She's spent half her life working for gloamists, magicians who manipulate shadows to peer into locked rooms, strangle people in their beds, or worse. Gloamists guard their secrets greedily, creating an underground economy of grimoires. And to rob their fellow magicians, they need Charlie. Now, she's trying to distance herself from past mistakes, but going straight isn't easy. Bartending at a dive, she's still entirely too close to the corrupt underbelly of the Berkshires. Not ... |

В книгата е представена една от най-ранните пиеси на Роланд Шимелпфениг, написана през 2001 г., в която са представени отношенията между колеги в един голям концерн. Една млада жена има амбиции за своята кариера, но по-възрастната ѝ шефка решава да ѝ попречи и дори да я прогони от службата.

Още по-ценното е, че знае как да разкаже една наистина вълнуваща история. Загадката за "безкрайния пъзел" на практика обхваща цялата квантова ... |
