My teaser this week comes from Last Writes: A Forensic Handwriting Mystery by Sheila Lowe:

My teaser this week comes from The Passage by Justin Cronin:

When all time ended, and the world had lost its memory, and the man that he was had receded from view like a ship sailing away, rounding the blade of earth with his old life locked in on it’s hold; and when the gyring stars gazed down upon nothing, and the moon in its arc no longer remembered his name, all that remained was the great sea of hunger on which he floated forever–still, inside him, in the deepest place, was this: one year.
