Ciudad de Cielo was supposed to be humanity’s gateway to the stars. Instead, it’s a floating den of vice where gangs thrive and corruption keeps the peace.
When a corpse is found disassembled and left spinning through the station’s micro-gravity, even the authorities can’t look away. Tasked with the investigation is Nikki “Fix” Freeman, a cop who knows how to work the shadows. Stuck at her side is Alice Blake, a by-the-book government official who sees the station as humanity’s future.
But as the bodies pile up and their own memories start to unravel, Nikki and Alice realize there’s something worse than organized crime at play.
Christopher Brookmyre’s Places in the Darkness blends gritty noir with high-stakes sci-fi, where trust is scarce and the truth is dangerous.
