Science fiction and mystery are in many ways kindred forms and when they are successfully combined, the results are marvelous. The Spare Man is Nick and Nora Charles in space. A “closed spaceship” murder mystery with a great cast of characters and a plot Hammet would be proud of. Tesla Crane, heiress and CEO of a major manufacturing company, is on her honeymoon with Shal, a retired security specialist, when a murder occurs practically in front of them. Of course they have to get involved.
