The Price of a Lie K C Sivils

Accidents happen. Some are avoidable, and some are not. Then some accidents were meant to happen. When those who suffer are from the working class and the innocent, the powers that be don't care. Things are covered up and forgotten. Time moves on, and it is as if the accident never happened. When one of those who died is the son of a rich and powerful man, forgotten accidents have a way of coming back to life. Especially if someone hires Thomas Sullivan to see that justice is carried out. Despite being warned by everyone he trusts not to take the case, Sully departs with his partner, Sarah, a mysterious clone, to a moon P-42686. Even the ever-faithful Father Nathan refuses to set foot on P-42686, insisting on remaining on the moon's orbiting space station. Located in unaffiliated space between the borders of the Alliance and the Confederation and run by the mysterious SEM Corporation, P-42686 is a strange place. One where workers come to make their fortunes, but very few ever leave. It doesn't take long for Sully to realize the accident he is there to investigate is just the tip of the iceberg. Secrets abound everywhere, and some of them belong to Sarah and Father Nathan, the people he's come to count on the most. Sully finds himself confronted with choices he never thought he'd have to make. For once, justice might not matter.
