The Narrows
From award-winning author Alexander C. Irvine comes a compelling, fantastical riff on history and World War II. The Narrows takes place in Detroit, where Henry Ford's factories have been retooled for America's grand war effort. But there are also more clandestine operations under way including a top-secret effort to produce golems powerful beings fashioned from the earth to destroy Nazis. Here lurk strange spies in unlikely places and a not-so-extraordinary man who is inadvertently poised at the bizarre, urgent center of it all. . . .

Spared fighting in Europe because of a bum hand, Jared wishes he could join the cause, instead of mindlessly sifting clay to be made into golems. But there is something that preys on his dreams: the devilish dwarf known as the Nain Rouge. In his youth, Jared once actually saw the Dwarf a chilling creature that shows itself to individuals just before their demise. Now the Nain Rouge appears to be coming back for Jared himself.

Many have a profound interest in Jared's childhood run-in with the Dwarf including a German spy, Jared's hateful foreman at the golem factory, and a shape-shifting Indian shaman. But what could a simple man who earns a meager living possibly have to do with espionage and dark deeds? While Jared toils invisibly in the bowels of Ford's plant, the answer is about to reveal itself in a cataclysm of mythic and sinister proportions.

The Narrows


Chapter One


At three minutes before three o’clock on Tuesday, as Jared is buttoning up his coveralls in the locker room, Felton comes in and says, “Draft Marshal’s here again.”

Jared slams his locker and heads for the stairwell that leads up to the overpass from Building G over the scrap bins to a parts- recovery division, where broken parts are either retooled or sent back to the furnaces. Sure enough, the Draft Marshal’s black Lincoln limousine is parked diagonally across two of the loading docks. He does this just to piss off Swerdlow, who can be counted on to come out of his office and rail about the Marshal jamming up the works. Swerdlow’s got to be careful, though; the Marshal has the authority to pick men right off the line and disappear them into the OEI office. He’s the reason they’re all here; he’s also connected, and he’s also vindictive. Swerdlow has to yell or he’ll look like he doesn’t care enough about production efficiency, but he can’t yell too much or he’ll look like he’s sheltering his men at the expense of troop strength at the front.
