  Clare made it to the city in the sky, and she's not impressed. 
   
   
   
  The tech is impressive, but it's being woefully underutilized. For a tech wiz like her, it's almost painful to witness. 
   
   
   
  They're having trouble keeping Summerland in the sky, but that's why Anselm dragged Clare up there in the first place. Being the mechanical magician she is, it doesn't take Clare to figure out the obvious. 
   
   
   
  Summerland is broken. 
   
   
   
  Worse than waste and neglect, the city in the sky shows signs of being sabotaged. Clare has a feeling that means things are going to get more interesting. 
   
   
   
  Who would want a city full of technological marvels to plummet from the sky? Especially given that said city is populated by a bunch of speciesist snobs? Oh, right. Pretty much everyone on the ground . . . 
   
   
   
  Clare and Anselm race against time to narrow the list of suspects and find a solution to the mechanical issues ASAP. Otherwise, all their efforts to keep the city in the clouds in the clouds are going to amount to nothing.

  "Brooklyn Noir came first in 2004, and now, 15 years later, Houston Noir--14 stories of intrigue, betrayal and death set from Tanglewood to Third Ward penned by current or former Houston authors--goes on sale."--Houston Chronicle" 
  "Akashic Books's long-running Noir Series tasks writers with imagining the dark sides of their communities, spinning gritty, shocking tales atop the local landscape. Recently the publisher tapped writer and former Houston poet laureate Gwendolyn Zepeda to serve as editor on a collection of stories about her native Bayou City. The end result is Houston Noir, out this month, whose 14 entries explore the murder, betrayal, and brujería lurking everywhere from River Oaks to the Ship Channel to a trailer park off FM 1960."--Houstonia Magazine 
  "Houston is a city on the rise when it comes to crime fiction--something about all those lonely highways, gravity-defying overpasses, and drastic urban sprawl (and of course, the crime rate) make Houston a perfect setting for noir. This port city of close to five million residents is ready for a new reputation as a world capital of literature, and we're here to support Akashic's new collection of noir tales from Texas's most complex city."--CrimeReads, included in The Best New Crime Fiction of May 2019
