    Widely respected, nothing about Linus’s expertise suggests somebody might want him dead.Professor Linus is also Brother Linus, a high-ranking member of an ancient, powerful religious organization known as the House. This makes his murder much more complicated, but no more explicable, because murder on House grounds just doesn’t happen. Not even when one of the last things the victim did was steal something important from the House vault.Finally, Orno is also the younger brother of Calcut Linus, one of the most powerful and criminally dangerous people on the planet.

What makes it impossible? The person in the video couldn’t have possibly done it.To get to the bottom of the Orno’s murder, Makk will have to navigate between the House and the Linus family, find the source of the video, and figure out what’s missing from the House vault.
