The main character is Nomi Lula, a “WIPER”, a private detective whose memory is completely wiped to guarantee clients the highest confidentiality. A new case to search for a missing journalist will lead Nomi on a journey of self-discovery that will reveal revelations about herself as she pursues the case that leads her from earth to the free zone on the enormous Space Station called The Hive…
Here’s the official press solicitation from Dark Horse as well as a preview of the opening of the story:
Lula Nomi is a Wiper–a private detective who guarantees complete discretion. A memory wipe after every job sees to that. When she is hired by enigmatic robot Klute she thinks the case is the answer to all her problems. But there’s something oddly familiar about Klute–and the more she investigates the disappearance of journalist Orson Glark, the more she suspects that he’s somehow connected to her own past . . .
Lula must face her greatest fears to learn what happened to Glark . . . and the truth about herself.
