The Trellis
Debbie Peck is a conflict resolution mediator fighting for relevance and her next paycheck in Chicago's near future. So when her headhunter offers her an interview at the Jefferson Trellis, she jumps at the chance to climb what remains of America's corporate ladder. The pay would provide upward mobility, the experience would elevate her marketability, and the murders plaguing the office . . . well, they were a risk she could manage given the right opportunity. As Debbie navigates her new position and Homicide Detective Melody Jackson investigates the Trellis' tenants, they each untwine the tendrils of a dark secret creeping through its corner offices.

The Trellis
Debbie Peck's headhunter calls to offer her a new beginning at the Jefferson Trellis, the last bastion of American prosperity in Chicago's near future. The salary might relieve her from crushing debt, the work might rescue the broken world from itself, and the bloodstains draping her new desk . . . those should be mopped up by Monday. As Debbie navigates her new position and Six Counties Police Detective Melody Jackson investigates the murders occurring around the Trellis, they each untwine the tendrils of a secret creeping through its corner offices. Like the gardens at the Trellis's base, their worlds weave between the lush, the stark, the delicate, and the deadly. Jools Cantor's rich prose and intricate storytelling dances between mystery, sci-fi, and literary fiction, layering a decade or two of decline to the American condition. Debbie's world is both familiar and fantastic, both funny and frightening, but to call it a dystopia would damn our own to the same definition.

This omnibus volume collects some of his lesser-known but equally vivid and delightfully caustic writing, including comic short novels sending up chivalrous romances, humorous poetry tweaking popular verse of the era, and a selection of letters and other writings from before his work as a professional man of letters. Complete with whimsical illustrations, some by the author, this is essential reading for lovers of 19th-century British literature.British journalist and novelist WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY (1811-1863) was a regular contributor to some of the most prominent periodicals of his day, including Punch, where his satires of English snobbery attracted public attention and acclaim.
