With flapper Veronica Stone and botanist G.E. McMullin joining them, they soon encounter hostility from the locals and an apparent connection between the colleague's disappearance and the flowers that McMullin has been studying. What exactly are their strange powers, and are they worth killing for?In our second story, A Stranger in Bryn Mawr, while Jennings and Ace Mifflin settle their differences in a heated baseball game, young genius Nora Carlisle uncovers a mystery of her own at college. A rash of thefts and a mysterious figure go from merely baffling to outright dangerous. Why is Nora's friend Amy in the middle of it all?
