New York Times bestselling author Peter F. Hamilton's riveting science fiction thriller combines the nail-biting suspense of a serial killer investigation with clear-eyed scientific and social extrapolation to create a future that seems not merely plausible but inevitable.
In AD 2142, where portal technology allows instantaneous travel to other planets, Newcastle police detective Sidney Hurst heads a high-tech investigation of the disturbing murder of a clone of the wealthy North family. Hurst has the added challenge of the politics and media associated with the high-profile murder and the opaque mystery, The body shows the same wounds as that of Bartram North, murdered twenty years ago on the tropical planet St Libra. The biofuel flowing from St Libra is a mainstay of Earth's economy, so powerful vested interests are watching over Hurst's shoulder.
