The future.
A girl is dead. That in itself needn't be suspicious - people die, even in arcologies. But as obstruction and evasion await him at every turn, Inspector Percy Gordon begins to suspect that there are things someone doesn't want him to know. The question is, to what lengths will they go to stop him finding out?

Alex is not who she says she is. The sacrifices she's made to infiltrate this sinister rich-boys' club really don't bear thinking about, but now she's almost got what she needs, and then she can go public - assuming they don't find out who she really is first, of course. Because that really would be game over.
