A minor noble traveling in first class on the lightning rail is found murdered. Rikard d’Orien is the highest-ranking house member on the train, and it falls to him (and whomever he can rope into helping him) to catch the killer. Rikard is usually more concerned with his status within Orien than the house’s clients, but at the moment, he is on the verge of losing both. He is desperate to solve the crime before word gets out—or the killer strikes again.
