Investigator Mossa and Scholar Pleiti reunite to solve a new mystery in the follow-up to the cozy space-opera detective mystery The Mimicking of Known Successes, which Hugo Award-winning author Charlie Jane Anders called -an utter triumph.-
Mossa has returned to Valdegeld on a missing person-s case, for which she-ll once again need Pleiti-s insight. Seventeen students and staff members have disappeared from Valdegeld University-yet no one has noticed. The answers to this case may lie on the moon of Io-Mossa-s home-and the history of Jupiter-s original settlements during humanity''s exodus from Earth.
But Pleiti-s faith in her life-s work as a scholar of the past has grown precarious, and this new case threatens to further destabilize her dreams for humanity-s future, as well as her own.
