In a world molded by commonality, the Bartleby
brothers have always found themselves lost, but when a man from The Agency
tests their analytical skills it becomes obvious what their function is.
Gibson “Gib” Bartleby is a fourteen-year-old kid with
a genius intellect, and he’s smart enough to acknowledge that he might as well
be a single-celled organism next to his autistic brother, Jack, who is
literally addicted to reading. Struggling to find the place where he and his
brother can thrive, or even function for that matter, Gib has become so cynical
that he can barely stand himself. When a government agent walks into his
brother’s classroom posing questions and riddles that no one should be able to
answer, Gib takes the opportunity to show off what he and his brother can do.
Whether a twist of fate or something planned from the beginning, Gib and Jack
Bartleby become important liaisons to the mysterious government agency trying
to stop a serial killer. This 84,000 word novel follows the first person
perspective of Gib as he tries to hold the family he has left together for long
enough to stop a killer who wants to challenge his brother’s abilities.
