  • Cataphile

    by Pietro Maurizi ...
    A body hidden among the bones of the Paris catacombs should have been impossible to miss. Yet three search teams walk past it before Commandant Luc Moreau notices that the dead man has been arranged as part of the ossuary itself.

  • Bench Height

    by Pietro Maurizi ...

  • The Seventh Chair

    by Pietro Maurizi ...
    For decades, the Meridian Six have been celebrated as one of jazz’s most enduring small ensembles.

  • Three Two

    by Pietro Maurizi ...
    When forensic audio editor Mara Venn receives a reel from a legendary 1963 jazz session, she hears an anomaly too small for anyone else to have treated as evidence: every take begins with “three, two, one” except one, where the count stops at two.

    by Pietro Maurizi ...
