Donovan James has a routine that he enjoys. He wakes up, catches the El, teaches high school English, runs the track, and returns home on the train. In a turbulent Chicago, this routine keeps his mind from wandering into the less-immediate world. However, Donovan can't seem to stop watching the people who frequent his morning commute or from dissecting their lives based on these regular but limited encounters. He believes that he knows them well.

That is until one morning, he runs late and by a series of minuscule events, he runs into her, the lady in the blue coat, a passenger on his train car whom he has seldom paid attention. The moment is fleeting, but now everything has changed. The routine is disrupted. Lives are not what they seem. Soon Donovan will be caught up in the investigations of Detective Lesley Powell as well as a train full of other lives and their lies, careening toward something mysterious and sinister. Donovan knows where he got on this train, but where will he get off?

In M-theory, Tiffany Cates meticulously layers America's societal, spiritual, and moral tensions in a plot that travels through the streets and elevated tracks of Chicago, creating a riveting thriller with an endearing love story at its beating heart. As inventive and intelligent as it is entertaining, M-theory marks Tiffany Cates as an important voice in American fiction.
