A stylish Doctor Who murder mystery from the actor behind Doctor Who companion Mel Bush - national treasure Bonnie Langford - presenting her first ever novel. A band of killers. Survivors with a secret. A death-defying murder mystery in space. When young Mel's business partner, Sabalom Glitz embarks on yet another "get rich quick" scheme, it marks the start of an epic, death-defying murder-mystery in space. After barely escaping the snares of a murderous galactic cult, Mel searches for fellow survivors in a nearby spaceship graveyard - while Glitz looks to fill his pockets. But the discovery of a spaceship with its crew in suspended animation and incredible secrets on board leaves the duo stranded with no way off. Mel revives the crew - and then the murders start. Murders that cannot possibly have been committed by any of the crewmembers. In fact, there are only two realistic suspects - Glitz and Mel themselves...
Bonnie Langford is a beloved British actor, and well-known for her role playing Melanie Bush in Doctor Who, companion to the Sixth and Seventh Doctors. She also starred in numerous West End productions, and played Carmel Kazemi in EastEnders. This is her first novel.
