This is a story about a detective as opposed to a detective story. Mathew Brown aka Augustus Cervantes discovers early in life that he has some very special skills. Skills that manifest in what many consider very odd personality traits. Most notably, he claims he can find anything with a little help from a nebulous place in his mind that he calls the canvas. ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿Having built a lucrative career finding treasured missing objects for wealthy patrons, he's contacted by a woman desperate to recover a meaningful family heirloom. This seemingly "impossible" task is just the kind of challenge for Cervantes' special skills. He accepts the case, referring to it as "The Mystery of the Lost Pocket Watch." Little does he know, he's also attracted the attention of a local crime syndicate with their own agenda associated with the missing time piece. As chaos ensues, intrigue multiplies when Cervantes discovers a clue to the whereabouts of the long-lost watch. The nature of the case and the others who are hot on his trail lead to a chase across Europe filled with murder and mayhem, and an outcome that, for the first time ever, he can't predict.

Jayne Wu is an inexplicably lucky 13-year-old in a future Earth obsessed with its own survival. The Swarm, a meteor field billions of kilometers across, will soon smash through the solar system, destroying all life-and possibly the planet itself. The only hope for humankind's survival are the biomes: twelve asteroid-sized escape vessels constructed in orbit to travel to and colonize distant worlds with the best Earth can offer. Jayne (nicknamed Thirteen) wants only to leave the Nursery, train to be a Technical Electrical Mechanical Fixer, and become part of the "great adventure." And, of course, play GravBall. But Jayne's mind is extraordinary, and she soon attracts attention from the organized crime Consortium, the Sentinels, the World Police, and the Forevers: a cabal of ultra-rich who will stop at nothing to subvert society's colonization plans to their own diabolical ends. They all want to use her. To survive, Jayne must decide whom to trust.
