JANUARY COLE is not your average house dick.
That’s because she’s head of security at the Paradox Hotel, someplace in the not-so-distant future where uber-rich yahoos–in costume, no less–gather to be zapped back into the past.
Alas, the technology–which the government’s planning to privatize soon–isn’t always all it could be, with occasional misfires and gaps that, yes, threaten the time/space continuum. Then there’s those pesky ghostly visitors from the past who sometimes stalk the halls, and clocks that apparently run backwards. Oh, and there’s a corpse in Room #526…
Or is there?
Apparently January’s the only one who can see it.
This one seems to have a bit of something for everyone. It’s a trippy, drippy mish-mash, featuring a dab of noir, some cyber-punk-tinged sci-fi, a little romance, some time-travel head-spinning and ghosts, both figurative and literal.
