Neptune One Case 04: An Old Friend

A routine protective detail on Neptune One becomes a deadly conspiracy when an assassination attempt exposes a hidden operation inside the station.

Security officer Beth Baxter and her team are assigned to protect Princess Lauren during her visit to Neptune One. But when an explosion erupts near the docking bay and armed attackers strike, the team discovers that the attack is only a distraction.

Beneath the station, Beth and Simone uncover a smuggling operation involving hidden chemical agents and forged security records. The trail leads to a terrifying possibility: someone with access to the highest levels of government is behind it.

For Trent, the investigation becomes deeply personal. Lauren is more than a princess—she is an old childhood friend. But as secrets emerge and loyalty is put to the test, Trent must decide whether friendship is worth protecting when the truth could prevent a war.

On Neptune One, the greatest danger may not come from an enemy—but from someone you once trusted.
