1.14: Juno Steel and the Train From Nowhere (Part 1)

From The Penumbra Podcast Harley Takagi Kaner and Kevin Vibert

He arrived in the night: Peter Nureyev, the burglar who got away, the thief Juno Steel couldn’t catch.

Until he returned, things had been so simple: solving crimes, chasing a killer with her eye on Ancient Martian artifacts, and not letting personal business get in the way. With Nureyev, though, things always seem to get personal very quickly.

But Juno has no choice. Nureyev’s the only one with a lead on the killer Juno’s after. He knows exactly what she plans to take next, and according to him it’s something very big, and very dangerous.

According to Nureyev, anyway. But the question remains: can Juno trust Peter Nureyev?
