A detective story set against the backdrop of a social divide and corporate intrigue, where every clue brings you closer to the truth that too many people have something to gain from burying.
Not too far in the future. Humanity has mastered the Jupiter system, but a technological leap has torn society into two layers: privileged “norms” and genetically modified “morphs,” who survive on the lower tiers of orbital stations. Investigator Vyacheslav Korostylev arrives at one of the stations to look into a string of strange deaths disguised as unfortunate accidents. Amid inequality, shadow deals, and corporate influence, he will have to withstand the pressure of the environment, push through bureaucracy, and face head-on his own past.
The only one willing to help is a morph—repair worker, Wojciech—an escort into a dangerous world for those whom the system has cast aside. The threads of the investigation lead to Europe’s icy depths and to classified scientific programs. The further Korostylev goes, the clearer it becomes—these deaths are not random; they are connected, and whoever is behind them will do anything to keep the truth from coming to light.
