Aprašymas

Meet a new kind of speculative literary mystery where the investigator is not a detective, but a sound scientist. Crimson in Quietus is the newest Sauú tiverse offering from the queen of genre bending and recent Kate Wilhelm Solstice Award recipient. Muso' mi is a maadiregi-- an expert highly gifted in the art of consuming sound. Her mother Maé calls it stealing sound. Now a research fellow at the Mahadum of the Mother's Whisper, Muso' mi seeks higher studies on the language of silence, if only to understand her own inherent gift. But the head of the mahadum is an opportunist who desires more than Muso' mi can give. His agenda is one that Muso' mi will never like. Her research funding is stifled, unless-- When her friend Fin' Lei unearths a secret but vanishes before she can disclose it, Fin' Lei's husband thinks it's part of a larger conspiracy dooming his wife for getting too close to ' the silence' . He funds Muso' mi's research into the pools of quietude across the federation of planets. In a quest to follow her research and find the missing woman, Muso' mi puts herself in peril when she disturbs serial killer T's pattern of killing in the fields of silence that are all too familiar.
