In this third volume of Lunar Stories, Detective Ray Babbitt is confronted with his own mortality as the social fabric of the Civitas lunar colony is being threatened by a rise in crime and competing political agendas. A new people's legislature attempts to chart a sustainable course for the colony.

Through all of the turmoil, Detective Babbitt tries to remain focused on solving crimes while maintaining an equilibrium in his own life.
