THE MARS TRYLO BASE SAGA
Red Dominion: Base 01
By Ellis Glass - Commander - Trylo Base 01
He booked the room six months out, paid cash, and said her name like he already knew her.
No one calls the Cliffside Inn in February. When the phone rings on a wet afternoon, Anya Bell writes the booking into the paper ledger the way she's written a thousand others: Room 14, August 17 through 20, three nights, Edward Marsh. Cash. No phone number.
He said her name back to her. That's the part that wakes her up at night.
Six months later, he checks in, carrying one duffel bag. Two days after that, housekeeping finds him dead in the same bed where Anya brought him ice, and there is no wallet, no identification, and no Edward Marsh anywhere on earth.
Detective Margaret Voss has been in Longfellow Point long enough to know the town and not long enough to be from it. What she has is a body, a room with a view of the cliffs, a deputy who checked a pulse without gloves, and the slow certainty that the man in Room 14 spent six months arranging the scene of his own murder.
READ THE OPENING
The phone rang at 4:47 p.m, and Anya Bell was almost certain it was a wrong number. No one called the Cliffside Inn in February. The season didn't start until May.
"Hello, Anya," the man said. "I'd like to make a reservation." His voice was calm, middle-aged, maybe older, with no accent she could place. The line was unusually clear… like it was coming from a small, enclosed room.
