Star Road

In the twenty-second century, humanity achieved monumental technological progress and managed to build a large-scale colony system, solving the problems of transcosmic communication and fuel production. Such unprecedented results were achieved thanks to the long-term efforts of the North family,... consisting of numerous clones. The Norths possess immense wealth and occupy key positions, and when one of the clones is found dead in Newcastle, a real scandal erupts. In addition to the motive, the method of murder appears mysterious - the victim's heart was ripped out with some kind of five-bladed weapon. The circumstances of the death strikingly resemble another case several years ago on the planet Cent-Libra, when another North was killed in a mass slaughter. Angela Tramello was accused of the crime, but the woman sentenced to life in prison swore her innocence and claimed that an alien monster attacked her home. At that time, no one believed her, but after the murder in Newcastle, this version no longer seems so implausible, as the same handwriting is clearly evident in the cases.
