Sinopse

1960. The height of the Cold War. Maths prodigy Ginny Matlock is appointed to be the first woman computer at a secretive nuclear testing facility off the East Anglian coast. She quickly finds, in this landscape of endless skies and shifting shorelines, that nothing is what it seems. What is the terrible secret of Briar Cottage? What dark tale haunts the local pub? And who is the mysterious Artist with whom Ginny's fate becomes entangled? As the Berlin Wall rises and nuclear Armageddon threatens in Cuba, can Ginny build a life for herself among so many mysteries or will the terrors of the age suck her under?
Sarah Bower's brilliant novella blows the spy thriller genre to pieces and creates a feminist masterpiece from what is left of the rubble. A swirling mystery in which mathematical proof is always just out of reach. Lines and Shadows is the strange lovechild between Sarah Perry's The Essex Serpent and John Le Carre.

    Short Snorter by Charles Einstein - His saucer was parked in the woods, and Mr. Steariot (from Venus) was parked in the lobby.... 
    Three paths led through the woods away from the resort hotel, and of the three two were clearly marked: one with a sign that said it led to the lake, the other pointing toward the golf links. The third pathway was unmarked, and this was the one that inevitably the lovers and the honeymooners took—the path that Alice and Fred Daniels followed today. 
    The sun was unusually warm for this time of year, but only a few yards along the pathway Fred and Alice were swallowed up by the great and near-great trees of the forest. The sunlight was, except for an occasional patch of light here and there, warded away by the foliage above. The forest was very quiet. The pathway bridged a silent brook, and then, perhaps a third of a mile into the woods, turned abruptly to the left and the woods became even more dense, the pathway narrow. 
    Through the trees to the right at this point was a clearing, an unusual grassy circle perhaps sixty yards in diameter. It was not the clearing itself, however, but, instead, the glint of color in the sunlight that caused Fred and Alice to stop and look. 
    Alice said, "Fred, what is that?" 
    "Don't know," he said. "Something red. Let's look." 
    The two of them turned off the path and made their way through a dismal barrage of thicket to the clearing that lay beyond. When they got there, they saw the circular object—vehicle might be a better word. It was possibly fifteen yards in diameter. It seemed to be made of three rings, smaller ones bottom and top and the larger one ribbing the center, and to be constructed of some kind of plastic. Between the central and upper rings were set a series of small windows. The entire thing was painted a gaudy red. 
    "What do you think it is?" Fred said.

    Somebody thought it would be a great idea to send us to the Troll Court. 
    Because somebody imagined I might be the perfect person to help with a certain wild and crazy plan of Their Majesties' concoction. 
    They want to restore the lost city of Farringale. 
    I can only say that I heartily approve. 
    There is the tiny problem of how, of course; but who better to dig up the truth than the Society’s most colourful agents? 
    Off questing we go, armed with a long list of questions, two winning smiles (well, three, if you count the Baron’s — and who wouldn’t?) and a certain Dappledok pup. 
    Only, history has a way of being... slippery. 
    The only way to find out what really happened at Farringale is to go back there, poke it with a stick, and see what falls out. And try not to die in the process. 
    It'll be fine. With my enchanted pipes in tow, a unicorn at my side and three trusty allies at my back, what could possibly go wrong?

    I've spent my whole damn life making the wrong calls. Not that anyone ever notices—whether on the track or back home, I'm always in the shadow of my perfect big brother. But anonymity has its perks sometimes...like when the firmly off-limits ex of my biggest rival finally looks my way. Chiara Martes—gorgeous, smart, funny, legs just made to wrap around your waist, and a smile that makes my heart race faster than anything. She claims she's just looking for some fun on the side, and I'm exactly the kind of man who can give it to her. But off-the-charts sexual chemistry (hooking up here, there, everywhere we won't get caught...and some places we might) turns into unexpected feelings we've got to keep secret no matter the cost. And somehow, before we know it, this desperate thing between us is threatening to destroy us all.
