Synopsis: Before she had even taken the job, Cadence Drake, a professional finder of lost things, regained consciousness to discover herself in a sealed space-station locker, her sole companion the corpse of a stranger. But Cadence has a personality problem: she's stubborn. Trying to scare her off was the worst thing the mystery perps could have done. Now she and her friend and partner Badger are in the employ of an ultra-rich manufacturer of top-of-the-line starships, seeking a stolen spaceship - the Corrigan's Blood, a hypership with almost supernatural capabilities. And the trail they follow, which began with the dead woman in the locker, throws Cadence into the path of smugglers, thieves, and killers, and leads to the same place in the universe that she doesn't dare to go.
