Synopsis: From the rear cover of the Axolotl Press TPB: "By any other name... - When Winston Seton abandoned his publishing firm for a few weeks, he wanted to leave it call behind. The stress. The deadlines.
The mistakes.
Then, on a beach in Atlantic City, he meets a little girl. A girl too little to be on her own and too big not to know better than to trust strange men. A girl who asks him for ice cream and sits beside him on a sea wall watching the sunrise before disappearing among the people ont the beach.
Near Middletown, he meets Jeremy Kersh of the FBI. A man looking for the same girl, claiming that she is the missing granddaughter of millionaire Joe Milliken. But the child Kersh seeks is two years old.
The girl in Atlantic City is four.
Another mistake?
Or something far more bizarre, something nameless the FBI want to keep secret and will stop at nothing to obtain?
A story of love and the rediscovery of life by Hugo and Nebula sward-winning author Kate Wilhelm, one of the most vibrant and thought-provoking voices in fiction."
