A NOTE TO THE READER: What's killing your beloved community newspaper? The internet and search engines? The coronavirus pandemic? Many newspapers have closed their doors for good.

What will it mean for those who don't trust where they get their news? How did it become this way? What can be done to fix it?

She enjoys a unique romantic relationship with her boyfriend, Beloved. They are entangled in a relationship imbued with bliss, love, math, myth, and science, which remarkably, continues even after his ill-fated death. Through a series of life altering events, Eulba shuttles between myth and science, accepting the myths of the Maya, and finally entering the myth itself through an act of self-sacrifice at the end of the Mayan Long Count calendar. She comes to understand that myth and science mirror each other while representing the same reality from different vantage points. Nature remains the same while our beliefs and knowledge change. Eulba and Beloved's everlasting, unbounded love becomes an underlying powerful creative force that permeates everything, embracing both the Mayan myths and parallel universes.

This case was inspired by the work of three brave, diligent and dedicated detectives. Detectives Thomas Gallagher, Lewis Robeson, and Sergeant Ron Heffernan were working the Robbery division in the South Bronx in 1983 when a drug-addicted felon traded some info on a cold-case murder for a reduced sentence.Little did they know that they'd be spending their spare time over the next eighteen months tracking down all the details of the case -- starting with who was the victim, and finishing with a way to prove the case to the jury. They worked Robbery, not Homicide, but after learning of the senseless, racist actions of the killer, and the brilliant, outstanding, promising African-American man who was killed on Christmas Eve, they wouldn't rest until justice was done.This is also the story of how the rise of drugs -- the sale, the pursuit, the use and the pains of addiction -- changed neighborhoods, pulling apart the bonds of community, the trust in family and neighbors and causing spikes in crime.At the heart of the story, though, is the dogged persistence -- almost obsession -- of Gallagher, Robeson, and Heffernan. They attacked the case from multiple angles, never wavering in their commitment for justice for Michael Johnson, even before they learned who he was. It was one of New York's first cold cases -- seven years of not knowing who or why. And in the end, justice was done.
