The Fool's Tale Dave Fancella

Cecil Wendbury is a professional fool who performs in the streets of New Austin on Europa. Then a mysterious man gives him a flash drive containing information over which he was later killed. Now Cecil has to figure out who was supposed to receive the flash drive while not letting it fall into the wrong hands. The key is in the information on the drive, but the encryption is uncrackable. It seems to be a hopeless situation, but is it really hopeless? In his search for information, he is aided by Larry, a physicist at the local community college and a retired netrunner, Sherry, a private investigator, and Captain Nick "Naptime" Vallejo, a notorious pirate. Together, they are a talented team, but even some challenges are too much.
