Summary
Every Monday, the freight lanes throw away what they cannot deliver, and every Monday it lands on Juno Okafor's floor.
On Meridian Ring, a slow-spinning town at the cold edge of the system, Juno runs Orbit Street Salvage. She buys what others discard, mends what can be mended, and sells what you lost to the person who needs it. Her crew is her family: a retired navigator who talks to her plants, a sixteen-year-old welder with a quick mouth, and a repair bot whose sense of duty is matched only by her love of gossip.
This Monday the net brings in a battered courier pod. Inside are a baby's knitted cap, a cold canister with a dial that is counting down, a letter ruined by coolant, and a flight log with one hour neatly cut out. The air reading before the cut is fifteen. The air reading after it is twenty-two. In a sealed tank, air only goes down. Someone gave these strangers a gift, and someone else wanted it forgotten.
The pod is addressed to the Three Hands, the founders of the Ring, who have not spoken to one another in thirty-one years. In three weeks the oldest neighbors' home will be sealed unless the town can count enough air, and only the Hands can open the reserve, together.
With a clue trail made of old ledgers, odd weights, a cold tin and a shelf of lost things, Juno follows the pod back through favors and debts to a quiet secret, an hour nobody dared to ask about, and a kindness that waited three decades to be claimed.
A warm, witty, gentle puzzle about found family and honest hearts. No battles, no villains, just air, weight, and people who needed to say one true thing out loud.
A cozy science fiction mystery.
