Murder in deep space

With seventy-two days remaining on a return haul of alien bio-materials, the ranking Special Agent for the freighter Lorax is woken from hibernation and led to an escape hatch. Hidden in the staging area, within a rack of  jump suits, is the  lifeless body of one Lt. Prideaux. The door to the staging area is in working order, but the console flashes a warning in soft orange: FAULT 459.

Most of the crew remains in hibernation, but eight people, ranging from the captain, the doctor on call and the skeleton crew’s chef, were awake during the murder. The success of the hundred billion dollar mission rests on the shoulders of Special Agent Ciro Brass.
