Excerpts

From SHAKEDOWN: Anne’s father stood and walked out with Drummond, who shut the door behind him. Anne stared at the peaked hat, which he’d left behind. Jet black, BII’s primary uniform color. Silver chain-and-key embellishments on the brim. The silver cap device of the department’s crest, a six-pointed cog with crossed swords behind it, ringed by the words knowledge, discovery, protection. Sigler, Scott.
