The Casebook of Elisha Grey VI - The Casebook of Elisha Grey, #6

The Casebook of Elisha Grey VI chronicles the work of Elisha Grey, scholar and consulting detective in Atlantis, as recorded by his partner, Kiara Ptolmai. The three novelettes are: "The Lost Visitor"; "The Destruction of Dark Ladder Laboratories"; and "The Haunting at Sunrise Terrace". The book follows the previous books in the Casebook of Elisha Grey series. Elisha Grey, scholar in numerous subjects & consulting detective in Atlantis during its Second Era, together with his partner Kiara Ptolmai -- daughter of Menos Ptolmai, Atlantean Ambassador to Chungkuo, investigate three mysteries.
In "The Lost Visitor", Elisha Grey and Kiara Ptolmai are asked by the constabulary to help find a Metalon (extraterrestrial) who has wandered off the ship for an unknown reason. As communication with the Metalons is still largely non-verbal, and their ship is only residing on Atlantis a few days a week, Elisha enlists the help of friends to find out if they have seen it. In "The Destruction of Dark Ladder Laboratories", Kamay Pellay awakens Elisha via the commnet early one morning to tell him that the main facility -- where Elisha's close friend Ishmael Endymion lives -- has blown up.
Because of their personal connection with Endymion, they aid the constabulary in retrieving personal effects; a painting Pellay was working on reveals he had precognition about the event, and with his observations of Dark Ladder's patrons at closing time when he is shapeshifted into an owl, he is able to identify several people -- one of whom constable Kaliska Saukenuk recognizes. Further investigation leads them to ties between Samax Rex Pahadron's crime network and the drug smuggling from Chungkuo.
In "The Haunting of Sunrise Terrace" Elisha Grey is asked by his sister Mara and her partner Sylvian Sweetwater, renowned fashion designer, to look into the rumors that a property they want to buy is haunted.
