The asteroid 4 Vesta has been colonised as a nature preserve by eccentric billionaire Benjamin Donovan Sr.-a refuge intended as much for creating a model of how humans can live, as for the animals and plants it hosts.

It is a paradise, removed from the pressures of overpopulation, social media, and the incessant, draining demands of modern life.

Now, Donovan Sr. lies murdered, and his son is either the prime suspect in his death. . . or the next target on the killer’s list.

Liane Sheridan, the station’s security chief, must find the answers while navigating a web of corruption.
