In the silent gap between the moons of Jupiter, a café owner knows everyone's secrets. But some secrets are worth killing for.
Petra Vasik has spent four years building a survivable life in Unit Seven, a transit corridor café caught in the jurisdictional vacuum between Callisto, Europa, and Io. She has calibrated the lights, installed sound baffles, and-most importantly-kept twenty-three notebooks documenting every baseline behavior and pattern-break of her customers.
For eleven years, diplomatic courier Seren Adeyemi-Park was Petra's most consistent regular. Then comes the joint-priority notification: Seren is dead.
As three investigators from competing stations arrive to claim the case, Petra realizes the café was more than a stop-it was the node of a hidden network. To find the truth, she must sift through a decade of observations to find the one pattern she missed. But in a place that belongs to no one, seeking justice might mean losing the only home she's ever built.
Why readers will love this space station mystery:Atmospheric World-Building: Step into the managed quiet of a space station café where the lighting is warm and the stakes are cold .
The Hyper-Observant Protagonist: Petra Vasik doesn't just serve coffee; she processes the world through data points and pattern recognition.
A Political Puzzle: Navigate the tension between three planetary powers-Callisto, Europa, and Io-as they fight for control over a death they can't explain.
The Cozy Noir Vibe: Perfect for fans of grounded speculative fiction who prefer sharp wit and deep character studies over space battles.
The records are accurate. The patterns are set. Discover what Petra Vasik found in the notebooks.
