  Nothing has happened. Not yet, anyway. This is how all things begin. 
   
   
   
  Welcome to Apex City, formerly Bangalore, where everything is decided by the mathematically perfect Bell Curve. 
   
   
   
  With the right image, values, and opinions, you can ascend to the glittering heights of the Twenty Percent—the Virtual elite—and have the world at your feet. Otherwise you risk falling to the precarious Ten Percent, and deportation to the ranks of the Analogs, with no access to electricity, running water, or even humanity. 
   
   
   
  The system has no flaws. Until the elusive "Ten Percent Thief" steals a single jacaranda seed from the Virtual city and plants a revolution in the barren soil of the Analog world. 
   
   
   
  Previously published in South Asia only as Analog/Virtual, The Ten Percent Thief is a striking debut by a ferocious new talent.

  'Never in the delirious dream of a disordered brain could anything more savage, more appalling, more hellish be conceived than that savage face which broke upon us out of the fog'.
  The Hound of Baskervilles holds the reader in suspense as few murder stories do.
  
  Its combination of horror, homicidal villainy, the fogs of remote Dartmoor, the Baskerville Curse 'a great black beast shaped like a hound', are as unforgettable as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.

  Minnie Harper isn't used to putting herself first. Not after she moved away from England only to be left raising two children alone on the Greek Island of Corfu following her husband's unexpected death. But with her daughter begging to be sent to school abroad and her son grasping at his own independence, Minnie realizes she must prepare for the next stage of her life. 
   
   
   
  When famous mystery author Stephen Dorian settles into a neighboring villa to escape writer's block and hidden scandals, she is intrigued at first by the handsome Londoner—until he proves to be nothing more than a boorish grump. Determined to avoid the man as much as possible, Minnie is shocked when he offers her a well-paid job as his typist. 
   
   
   
  But before Minnie can fully regret her decision to take the job, she makes a horrifying discovery that changes everything. A young maid has been murdered, and local authorities aren't moving fast enough to bring justice to the terrible crime. Unwilling to allow the death to fade into obscurity like so many other women, Minnie launches an investigation of her own—and reluctantly accepts Stephen's help. As she embarks on a dangerous search for answers that reveals another side of Corfu, unsettling questions take shape about her employer-turned-confidant and the culprit who just might do whatever it takes to strike again . . .
