Interplanetary travel is routine, and humanity lives and works across the outer solar system. But Enceladus Station is sealed beneath the ice of Saturn's most reflective moon - cut off from Earth, with nowhere to run and no one coming to help. Doctor Craig Walters has been found stabbed with a scalpel, and the case file is ninety-seven pages of nothing. So, they send Lieutenant Mark Grant.Grant arrives a stranger, with no allies and no time. The governor wants the case closed quietly. The sheriff's reports don't add up. And the station's lead scientist, Susan McAfee, has found something in the water beneath the ice - something alive - a discovery that may be exactly what got Walters killed. The deeper Grant digs, the clearer it becomes that the danger isn't the vacuum outside the hull. It's the people sealed inside it with him. Down here, the farthest you can see is the next bend in the corridor. And the killer hasn't left.A grounded, claustrophobic locked-room thriller, Enceladus Station: Fountains blends hard science, classic whodunit, and the cold silence of deep space. Readers who love the contained dread of The Thing, the deductive engine of Agatha Christie, and the lived-in realism of The Expanse will find a fresh mystery at the edge of the solar system - the first novel in an ongoing series.
