Murder on a Monochrome World : Red Ice Book One

By: Myers, Dennis

It's hard to hide a body on Luna. That doesn't keep people from trying.

In 2414, corporations rule the lunar colonies. The last traces of the old Lunar Government have been wiped away. Each corporation is free to rule their territory as they see fit, and increasingly, automation is becoming far cheaper than human labor. With government guarantees stripped away, displaced workers are starting to disappear. In a world where even the air to breathe is an expense, mass murder becomes more economical than retirement.

Miku O'Connor is a security officer in the mining town of Mount Wexler, climbing the ladder one arrest at a time, driven by the crushing debt of her prosthetic limbs. Then she finds a trail of frozen blood with no body to be found. Red Ice. The man responsible is still there, calm, charming, and already erased from every surveillance feed.

The case earns her a temporary promotion to detective. But chasing a ghost by the destruction he's already caused might not lead where she expects.

Her only ally is Vasu Devan, a rich girl turned covert agent. First a lead. Then a rival. She becomes something far more complicated.

Now Miku is racing through corporate zones, chasing a killer the system refuses to see. In a world where people are discarded like old tech, justice comes at a cost, and love may be the one thing she can't afford.
