Сотрудница полиции Мики Фитцпатрик годами патрулировала 24-й район Филадельфии. Она знает почти всех здешних проституток по имени. Ей хорошо знаком цвет, вкус и запах полной безысходности. Она в курсе, на что идут люди ради дозы. Она находила на улицах тела умерших от дури; с каждым годом их количество лишь возрастало. И каждый раз, приезжая на вызов и видя холодное, окоченелое тело, Мики молилась: "Только не Кейси, хоть бы не Кейси!"

Ada Sibelius is raised by David, her brilliant, eccentric, socially inept single father, who directs a computer science lab in 1980s-era Boston. Home-schooled, Ada accompanies David to work every day; by twelve, she is a painfully shy prodigy. The lab begins to gain acclaim at the same time that David's mysterious history comes into question. When his mind begins to falter, leaving Ada virtually an orphan, she is taken in by one of David's colleagues. Soon after she embarks on a mission to uncover her father’s secrets: a process that carries her from childhood to adulthood. What Ada discovers on her journey into a virtual universe will keep the reader riveted until The Unseen World's heart-stopping, fascinating conclusion.

Former academic Arthur Opp weighs 550 pounds and hasn't left his rambling Brooklyn home in a decade. Twenty miles away, in Yonkers, seventeen-year-old Kel Keller navigates life as the poor kid in a rich school and pins his hopes on what seems like a promising sporting career - if he can untangle himself from his family drama. The link between this unlikely pair is Kel's mother, Charlene, a former student of Arthur's. After nearly two decades of silence, it is Charlene's unexpected phone call to Arthur - a plea for help - that jostles them into action.
