Famed adventuress Amelia Deerhart is set to be the first person to travel to the moon. But when her moon shot unexpectedly fails its clear there’s more going on this fateful night than meets the eye.
Take on the role of Jane Ampson as she digs into the mystery and intrigue surrounding the moon shot. Was the moon shot sabotaged? And if so, by whom? Rival adventurer Phineas Hogg? Muckraking reporter Dirk Digger? Or maybe the moon shot's sponsor Mister Moray?
Guide Jane on her journey towards an even greater adventure yet to come, in this complete and standalone story of deduction and reconciliation.
