A detective, in a world where scent is an indicator of social rank, tries to solve the past murder of his wife by using a man with no scent...

An artist and his scholar wife are joined by two men on their journey to a festival held in a massive, ancient city, containing a mysterious artifact, a shrunken image of man, held seemingly forever outside of time. The two men are secretly intent on stealing the artifact. However, meeting a woman grieving for the man in the artifact raises questions about the nature of the artifact. There is a nice twist at the end.

Overlong fantasy with a wandering deity and Freud.

Set in the same same 'spores'-driven fantasy world of the earlier Tell me everything, and concerns an experimental projector. Adds little to an already thin creation.
