Before Thomas Edison\, light and fire were thought to be the same\, though we now know otherwise. This book takes a similar relationship\, that of time and place\, and shows how they\, too\, were once considered inseparable. Time-keeping was once a local affair\, when small towns set their own pace according to the rising and setting of the sun. Later\, the expanding railroads necessitated the creation of Standard Time zones\, and communities became linked by a universal time. Here Howard Mansfield explores how our sudden interconnectedness\, both physically\, via the railroad\, and through inventions like the telegraph\, changed our concept of time and place forever.

Vermont Bureau of Investigation head Joe Gunther and his team are called in to investigate a series of violent deaths that appear unrelated until telltale clues reveal that they are murders linked by a single drop of unexplained blood left at each crime scene. In their search for the elusive truth\, the VBI must plumb the depths of every suspect’s past\, every victim's most intimate details\, and examine each piece of evidence down to the smallest detail – an examination that includes a trip to the Brookhaven National Lab on Long Island and an exploration of cutting-edge forensic technology.
