Publisher's Synopsis
Tiffany Cates writes about Chicago and its citizens with deep respect and consideration, and is able to reveal both their nature and their bonds to one another in the same manner as Stuart Dybek in The Coast of Chicago. Which is to say, Cates captures the spirit and emotional intelligence of us all.
Using noir and romance elements Cates is able to create a sharp, fast-paced, and nuanced page-turner that articulates the complexities of those with and without power. Readers of this well-plotted, stylish prose will be floored by how close each characters' motivations hits to home; how intelligent, how entertaining, how resonant.A truly satisfying reading experience, the success of Gillian Flynn and Paula Hawkins' books are just a few examples of the large mainstream audience for this type of eerie, haunting-while highly accessible and entertaining-literary fiction.
M-theory is made all the richer and more addictive by its intricate storylines and utterly convincing emotional logic.
