The Voice in the Ear — A Punch-Girl Short (Story #5)

She thought she knew what their partnership was. She's about to find out how much she didn't. Punch-Girl is in the early days — no Punchcycle, no spare suit, and a growing frustration that her work isn't making a dent. Central is the voice in her ear, always calm, always one step ahead. But when he directs her to a location before anything has happened, the questions she should have been asking all along come rushing in. How does he know what he knows? How long has he been watching? And what exactly does it mean to have someone in your corner? The Voice in the Ear is a standalone short story set in the world of the Punch-Girl series by J.M. Reilly — a tense, revealing look at the partnership at the heart of the series, and what it costs to protect someone without their full knowledge. Start with Punch-Girl Book One to experience the full story.
