Jude Demarco can track anyone in the station-city of Nicodemia, but there are some places even he can’t follow. When a down-on-her-luck dancer goes missing, Demarco will sacrifice everything to find her, but a darker secret lurks behind her disappearance. A murderer is loose, and his killings follow an ominous pattern.
Demarco must weigh the cost of backing down against the dangerous cost of success.
And all trails lead back to the one place he can’t afford to go: The Gravity Lounge.
