Plot summary

The novella is set on the Saturnian moon Titan. It concerns an investigation into the troubling death, by exposure to Titan's atmosphere, of a young woman, Tanja Morgenstein, the daughter of wealthy and influential industrialist Joshua Hainan. The investigation, conducted by caseworker Guerline Scarfe, begins with an evidence-supported presumption that the death was a suicide, but anomalies are uncovered as the various persons of interest in Ms Morgenstein's life are interviewed.
