<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><strong>Book Revue<br/> Downtown Cape Merrin<br/> November 10, 2010</strong></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;">As Fate nuzzled into her arms, trying to get some sleep, an unmarked police car rolled slowly by the book store, washing up detritus from the gutters as its tires swept along the night streets. Inside Detective Michaels was bound toward the east end of town, on her way to Devil Bat Cave. </span><br/><br/><hr/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;">  <br/>As Fate’s consciousness slipped more deeply into slumber, a nightmare of her CMCC Calculus class stole across her mind. In it Fate was furiously trying to take the derivative of an impossibly long problem—the entire class was, but the professor simply laughed and pushed his oversized, square-framed glasses impossibly further up the bridge of his nose while the students struggled. As the frantic buzzers and alarms began to sound within the garish classroom of Fate’s mind, declaring the absolute end of time allotted for the exam, police cars—marked ones—rushed past the shop, also headed east. Their sirens blared into the night, like a child waking from a nightmare. </span>
