From idyllic small towns to claustrophobic urban landscapes, Mallory Viridian is constantly embroiled in murder cases that only she has the insight to solve. But being surrounded by death also makes you a suspect and a social pariah.

So when Mallory gets the opportunity to take refuge on a sentient space station, she thinks she has the solution. However, when aliens and humans alike begin to die, the station is thrown into peril. Stuck smack-dab in the middle of an extraterrestrial whodunit, Mallory has to solve the crime - and fast - or the list of victims could grow to include everyone on board.
