From the author of The Sandcastle Empire comes a sci-fi thriller that's equal parts Illuminae and One of Us Is Lying.

Lindley Hamilton has been the leader of the space station Lusca since every first generation crew member on board, including her mother, the commander, was killed by a deadly virus.

Lindley always assumed she'd captain the Lusca one day, but she never thought that day would come so soon. And she never thought it would be like this -- struggling to survive every day, learning how to keep the Lusca running, figuring out how to communicate with Earth, making sure they don't run out of food.

When a member of the surviving second generation dies from symptoms that look just like the deadly virus, though, Lindley feels her world shrinking even smaller. And as more people die, Lindley must face the terrifying reality -- that either the virus has mutated, or one of their own is a killer.

• Closed Circle Mystery: On the isolated space station Lusca, the first generation of adults is dead. Now the teenagers are dying too, and the killer is trapped on board with them.

• A High-Stakes Whodunit: Lindley Hamilton, the station's new young commander, must unmask the murderer before they strike again. But in a place this small, the killer could be anyone -- even a friend.

• Gripping Sci-Fi Suspense: Fans of Illuminae and One of Us Is Lying will love this claustrophobic thriller about survival, grief, and the terrifying reality that the greatest threat isn't in the void of space, but in the person standing next to you.

• Found Family Under Pressure: As paranoia spreads and the body count rises, Lindley and the five other teen leaders must learn to trust each other. But when everyone is a suspect, who can you rely on?
