Five, Guy Morpuss, Guy Morpass

Imagine a world where humanity has finally invented a way to solve the problem of overpopulation. Now the body is just a vessel, and true value is the time a consciousness lives. Four types of people: workers, hedonists, androids, and communes, can live for a set number of years or win more time in special death parks. Alex, Kate, Sierra, Mike, and Ben — a commune — arrive at one such park. Very different in character and interests, they have been living in one body for twenty-five years. They plan to earn some time to buy a new, improved vessel but get involved in a daring adventure after which one of them disappears. Who is trying to kill the members of the commune? Who started this strange deadly game? And how do you catch the killer if you might live too close? One body, two lies, three murders, four suspects — there are five of them.
