A bootleg Nine Inch Nails cassette tape.
Weird thing for Kira to find abandoned by a sewer grate on her way to school.
The hand-drawn NIN logo in marker catches Kira’s eye. Who tossed the tape? And why?
Kira pockets it, of course. Seems a shame to leave it in the gutter. Who knows what kind of extra tracks she might find on it?
…Now she only needs to figure out a way to play the thing.
A twisting, short novel of Kira’s high school past from the Kira Brightwell mystery series by Jacquelyn Smith.
Now you can read it for free on this site for one month only. This short story also comes in ebook and paperback format–both on its own, and as part of the Down in the Fifth Kira Brightwell Collection.
