From Hugo-winner Elizabeth Bear (ANCESTRAL NIGHT, KAREN MEMORY), a new edition of the novella “In the House of Aryaman, a Lonely Signal Burns” and an original previously unpublished sequel continuing the Police Sub-Inspector Ferron series to Steve Feldberg at Audible Originals by Jennifer Jackson.
A man has been turned inside-out. Fifty years in the future, in the sleek modern city of Bangalore, a scientist working on revolutionary bioengineering techniques has been discovered inside his own locked home, his body converted into a neat toroidal package of meat. It’s up to Police Sub-Inspector Ferron to unearth the victim’s complicated past and solve the crime, despite the best efforts of the mastermind behind the murder, aliens beaming signals from the Andromeda Galaxy, her overbearing mother, and an adorable parrot-cat who is the only witness.
