The Fuse #1 by Ed Brisson, Justin Greenwood, Shari Chankhamma, Antony Johnston

4.0

Detective story/police procedural set on The Fuse, a space station that was originally supposed to just be a power station but which has developed over decades to be a giant city in space, complete with social levels, neighborhoods, politicians, police, schools, and homeless citizens. An experienced police officer with an excellent record volunteers to transfer up to the Fuse, which causes question from his new, experienced partner who is used to forced transfers of trouble-makers. But before long they are caught up in the murders of two homeless people, a man and a woman, happening on the same day with the same method of death, but not near each other, and the investigation embroils them in local politics. References to race riots let readers know that racial tensions still exist, although possibly lessons have been learned. A decent mystery, some intrigue around the backgrounds of the police characters, and a teaser of an ending to let you know there is more to the story of the new detective's transfer.

Good for older teens and adults who like a myster with a bit of thriller. I'll seek out future trade editions to find out more of the story.
