Alien investigators encounter a mystery that could tear their patchwork planet, the Crucible, apart in this riotous science-fantasy novel from the hit game KeyForge. Wibble & Pplimz, the Crucible's most unusual private investigators, must leave their Hub City office to clear the name of a former client. Gradually, their investigation broadens from a simple accusation of theft to a missing person, a possible murder and a highly unusual gemstone. Four interconnected incidents take them across the Crucible as they try to solve the case. But something more sinister lurks: evidence of a secret society whose mission is to discover the power of the Architects and forever change the nature of the Crucible itself.
