Marcus Summanus and the Temple of Maya
In which a familiar stranger commits a murder…
In which a heroine makes her appearance…
In which a dance hall makes for a poor bullet-stopper…
In which Mark negotiates a menu of lead or knuckle sandwiches, swears, and reminisces about worse times…
In which it all comes to a crossroads, a standstill, and an end…
In which a shovel is wielded to questionable effect, and help comes from unexpected quarters…
In which the morning is cold, the enemies close, and the friends closer…
In which the friend of a friend may be no friend indeed…
In which the rain comes through the roof, Nash gets a cigarette, and we consider the question of flags…
In which a sandwich is eaten and our hero teeters on the brink of the next…
In which we visit a Bangkok market and an underdog fights for a prize…
In which blood sport turns bloody….
In which a garland of flowers takes on a new meaning, and Summanus says his name…
In which a new suit of clothes solves all worldly woes, and a matchbook fails to light a fire….
In which a crime comes to light….
In which a crime scene is not abandoned….
In which Jenny tells a story….
In which knives dance among the poppies….
In which Summanus enters the place called Bitter Flower….
In which a magician grants a mission….
In which ways part under stone eyes….
In which many names are lost, and one remembered….
In which the pit reveals secrets….
In which a knife is no match for a Garland, and an old enemy returns….
In which a monkey meets a bagpipe, a soldier knows secrets, and prophecy is uttered….
In which it is dangerous to ignore a warning….
In which wrath stalks amid ruin and Mark must choose his way….
In which an escape plan is sunk….
In which missions collide in the night….
In which the city groans….
In which a plot is hatched beneath dripping thatch….
In which escape is the only option…. or Cat’s Cradle.
In which every shot counts….
In which plans meet problems….
In which eager gladiators fight to the death….
In which secret doors lead secret ways….
In which waits a perilous choice and the test of all hopes so far….
In which shapes move in the dark, words are whispered, choices made, and something follows…
In which a master reveals secret truth and terrible consequence….
In which a price is paid….
In which Agafya encounters a problem….
In which a party is thrown and everyone invited….
In which life and smoke both fade….
In which lives are changed….
In which Agafya writes a message in blood….
In which Maya’s temple fights to the last….
In which a good dog bites hard….
In which a song is sung….
In which Maya’s dance meets its match….
In which paths diverge….
In which an outstanding mystery is solved….
In which a journey ends….
