Pythias

Larry Connaught lands on a live grenade—and the blast hurts no one. Dick knows it wasn’t luck; now he’s in jail for murdering the friend who saved him.

In postwar Washington, Dick is a Senate guard and Larry an old friend who has spent years pursuing a secret Dick once dismissed as childish talk: the mind can command physical forces. Larry can move objects, make them vanish, even stop a bomb—but the method, he says, takes only twenty-three words to explain. Dick sees what such power could mean in anyone’s hands, not just an idealist’s. With Larry dead and the police closing in, can Dick keep the secret from the world—or has he already set something loose?
