Kipton and the Monkey's Uncle

Bored with daily life on the Pile, Kipton gladly accepts Nikolai's invitation to spend some vacation with his family at West Mars, his family's estate outpost a quarter of the way around Mars. Nikolai is of Russian origin. She goes with Dr. Burundi, who was to attend a scientific conference to examine a huge diamond "find" that could be an ancient artifact, proof that Mars had been inhabited. Just as the conference begins, the diamond mysteriously vanishes. Braving a horrible floating head in her room at night, Kipton's attention to seemingly unrelated details solves the case.
