I grew up when the space race was starting, and I became fascinated by all things regarding the planets, rockets, and the cosmos. For several years, I lived in the Houston area and spent hours and hours at the Johnson Space Center, where the history and future of space exploration are on display.

As a woman, Tessa Treslow realises her best years for employment and marriage are likely behind her. Tessa rolls up her sleeves and gets stuck in at the repair garage run by her aunt. When a man is found dead in the garage, and it turns out he’d claimed to have inheritance rights on the Treslow garage and grocery store, Tessa has to find the killer.
