Contrology

By: Michael Miller

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

They called her Sissy on the beaches where she sold treasure maps and made change and survived everything the islands had to offer. Her legal name is Eilla. She is almost thirteen. She has a white Morgan stallion whose name is Contrology, a guardian who teaches Pilates, a man who came back from the sea without his memory, and a lawyer who keeps a pen with horses on it in her jacket pocket for signing important things.

She also has a finder's fee claim on the contents of a vault in Timor that contains five hundred years of accumulated wealth, a five hundred year old blade that was in her side before it was in Honey Franklin's personal bag, and the beginning of a legal argument that she has been building since the day she understood what the law was for.
Someone has put her in a room with no windows to stop her from using any of it.

They do not know Sissy.

The fourth and final installment of the Pilates Trilogy follows Jen, Ekim, Sissy, Tosh, Honey, Renee, Jeb, and Ann into the crisis that tests what they have built together and reveals what the found family is made of. It is a book about the law and the idea and the agreement between the maker and the receiver. It is about a man returning to himself in a swimming pool and a woman who kept the knowing of him for thirty years. It is about a furniture maker named Ahmad and a ministry official named Rashid and the paper room that has been waiting for the right person to open it.

It is about Sissy.

It is always about Sissy.
