Freelancer. Detective. Investigator-for-hire. The thing Brooke Lawson has been dreaming about her whole life. And out in the Black, it’s finally become a reality. There’s only one problem; Everything she knows, she learnt from a holovid.

She’s made good so far, using her wits and a lifetime of privilege to keep herself and her crew above water, but with debts piling up and morale running low, it’s only a matter of time before her luck finally runs out. So when a beautiful stranger walks back into her life, offering a gig too good to turn down, she can’t help jumping at the chance to prove she’s more than just hot air. But all is not as it seems, and before long she and her crew find themselves wrapped up in a conspiracy that runs so deep it could shake the very foundations of the solar system itself.
