Overview

""When they emerged from the lava tube and got their first sight of the lunar surface, Harper's breath caught in her throat. Rocky and vast-and pockmarked with craters of varying size-the monochromatic grey expanse extended in every direction to a dark horizon that genuflected before a star-speckled infinity. It made Harper feel very small indeed. And humble; like kneeling at the feet of God..."" Stranded some 239,000 miles from Earth by the most devastating celestial disaster since the extinction of the dinosaurs, UN Agent Harper Reardon has become an ad hoc investigator with the Lunar Security Corps, the New Eden colony's police force. In the months since successfully solving the case that brought her to the moon (something that put her permanently on LSC Captain Fiona Krieg's shit-list!), Harper and her team-Detective Constable Calvin Mendoza and the android RD-482-have found themselves assigned the dregs of the Corps' cases; gifts from her colleague-cum-nemesis undoubtedly accompanied by a self-satisfied smirk and a middle-finger salute! As a result, when Krieg unexpectedly announces she has a murder for them, Harper is more than a tad suspicious... And according to Mendoza, she should be. There's a body alright but it's not on the moon, it's at one of the asteroid mining camps-which Cal assures her are the colony's armpits and the worst possible assignment. Intrigued-and being an admitted foot-stomping contrarian-Harper snatches up the gauntlet Krieg has thrown down... Just who was Reuben Paltrow and who among the miners would want to kill him in such a public, twisted way? The mining clans are insular groups that keep to themselves, so which of Harper's 'Big Four' motives will it turn out to be? Love, lust, loathing, or loot? She's determined to find out-but in order to do so she'll have to deal with an unexpected curveball Krieg has pitched her way, a distraction her homesick heart has trouble ignoring...
