Century RainCentury Rain is a science fiction/mystery book by author Alastair Reynolds (ISBN 0575074361). As 'Century Rain' opens, Wendell Floyd, an expatriate American living in Paris, and Andre Custine, his partner, are hired by a concerned landlord to investigate the death of one of his tenants. When they're not detecting, they're musicians, but the music biz has drained away because Floyd's ex, Greta, has left Paris to pursue a career with a better band. Blanchard the landlord is certain that the death of Susan White, which the Parisian police have written off as an accident, is murder. Floyd is not so certain, but he's willing to investigate. In a scene seemingly from another novel, Verity Auger finds herself responsible when her archaeological dig beneath the frozen ruins of some far-clung future Paris goes terribly wrong. The victim of political infighting, she's going to be hung out to dry for all the wrong reasons.
