1.11: Juno Steel and the Midnight Fox (Part 1)

Valles Vicky’s Vixen Valley is your one-stop shop if you’re interested in fine dining, good conversation, beautiful people, and contraband from across the galaxy. Juno Steel needs the last on that list: he’s after a killer with an eye for Ancient Martian artifacts, and only Valles Vicky herself can help Juno catch that killer.

But a favor from Valles Vicky always comes at a price… and if Juno’s not careful, the bill might end up more than he can afford.
