How can you lose a husband who is supposed to be in prison---in a space colony?
Why does his wife give P. I. Nick Ryder a ludicrous amount of money without asking questions?
From this simple missing person case, Nick and his partner, Alexandra Bouvier King, find themselves on a trail of death and betrayal, insurrection, and invasion. The number of twists increases as the turns become deadlier.
