The Death And Life of Nicholas Linnear

Cover The Death And Life of Nicholas Linnear
The acoustics were eerie, as if the interior was a miniature theater, its unseen audience hushed and waiting for the curtain to rise and the lights to snap on.
    There were no lights, but the sound reverberated in the confined space, doubling and redoubling like pinballs crisscrossing each other.
    Nicholas Linnear lay, hands crossed over his chest, as he returned to consciousness. He was dressed in the midnight-blue tuxedo he had been wearing earlier, when he had been drinking Champagne, s
...nacking on caviar, watching the diamond lights along the Bund.
    Sound was the first sense that returned to him, sight was the last. In the absolute darkness, there was nothing to see. He heard the functions of his body: his breathing, the blood pulsing through him. Then, moving outward, the sound and the smell of the coffin: the soft creak of wood so aromatic the scent caused his nostrils to flare. They had buried him in a raw pine box.
