Not perhaps one of the strongest of these Wild Cards short stories, although far from the weakest. The plot is a murder mystery, told from the perspective of Noel Matthews, who, in this instance, is an innocent suspect. Although it's a perfectly functional mystery, it suffers slightly from not taking much advantage of the setting. Noel shapeshifts and teleports about, but much of the story could be told without this, so it really depends on whether you happen to like Noel and want to read more about them in particular. I find them a bit annoying, so while this story certainly isn't bad and is a nice quick read, it perhaps had more of an uphill struggle than it otherwise might.
