Finalist of the Manly Wade Wellman Award. Goodreads Finalist. From peaceful small villages to claustrophobic urban landscapes — wherever Mallory Viridian is, she will inevitably be drawn into murder cases that only she can solve. But remaining the charming amateur detective, followed closely by death, is only possible on the pages of a classic detective novel, while in reality, you turn into a constant suspect and social outcast. So, when Mallory has the opportunity to hide in a reasonable space station, she seizes this chance. The murders will stop if her only companions are alien beings.
