...resembles a large weather vane, and, in fact, it is mounted on hidden ball bearings, so that it can turn. The form of the blade is very pure and yet somehow indeterminate; it has no trace of fins, gills or other fishy attributes. It is more like the shadow of a fish in perfectly clear water, a gray flicker cast on the riverbed below, whose pebbles are suggested by the white streaks and mottling within the stone itself. Thus one has the strange impression of both looking at an opaque, polished stone form and gazing into transparency...
...kopfs (after the German word for "head"), Grotzinger's team has documented the existence of a flourishing biological community on the cusp of a startling transformation, a community in which small wormlike somethings, small shelly somethings - perhaps even large frondlike somethings - were in the process of crossing over a shadow line into uninhabited ecospace...
...hail Malcolm Forbes, Jr.! Even if the multi-millionaire has to adopt the earthy moniker "Steve" in order to emerge from his father's shadow, he's still manipulated the political arena masterfully with his fortune.

Frannie stumbles into trouble. In a basement room of a bar she happens to see a red-haired woman--whose murder will be reported later that night--performing a sex act on a man whose face is in shadow. But he, she suspects, will recognize her. Sure enough, she is soon visited by N.Y.P.D. Detective James A. Malloy, who has a tattoo on his wrist similar to one she noticed on the man in the bar. "You remind me of someone," he tells...
