But these facts haven't stopped Newbury from succumbing increasingly frequently to his dire flirtation with the lure of opium. His addiction is fueled in part by his ill-gotten knowledge of Veronica's secret relationship with the queen, which Newbury fears must be some kind of betrayal. Veronica, consumed by worry and care for her prophetic but physically fragile sister, Amelia, has no idea that she is a catalyst for Newbury's steadily worsening condition. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eVeronica and Newbury's dear friend Bainbridge, the chief investigator at Scotland Yard, tries to cover for him as much as possible, but when the body of a well-known criminal turns up, Bainbridge and Veronica track Newbury down in an opium den and drag him out to help them with the case. The body clearly, irrefutably, belongs to the man in question, but shortly after his body is brought to the morgue, a crime is discovered that bears all the dead man's hallmarks. Bainbridge and Veronica fear someone is committing copycat crimes, but Newbury is not sure. Somehow, the details are too perfect for it to be the work of a copycat. But how can a dead man commit a crime? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eNewbury \u0026amp; Hobbes Investigation\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e#1 The Affinity Bridge\u003cbr\u003e#2 The Osiris Ritual\u003cbr\u003e#3 The Immortality Engine\u003cbr\u003e#4 The Executioner's Heart\u003cbr\u003e#5 The Revenant Express\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George Mann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tor Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/03\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.26h x 5.54w x 1.06d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780765327772\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGEORGE MANN edited the \u003ci\u003eSolaris Book of New Science Fiction \u003c\/i\u003eanthology series and is the author of a number of fiction and nonfiction books, including \u003ci\u003eThe Mammoth Encyclopedia of Science Fiction\u003c\/i\u003e.
