P.I. in space Burt Holmes used to be a cop on Perseus space station, a place known for its docks and jails. Now he's a private eye who knows his own flaws all too well... and has gaps in his memory. Burt was kicked off the force for killing someone, though he can't remember it. Nowadays he usually handles divorce cases. He's facing his hardest job yet working for Wade Hampton, who is one moment a hardened-and deadly-ship's captain, the next an insecure young girl who tugs at his protective instincts. Then an old nemesis-a child predator-escapes from jail. Life gets complicated, with assassin drones, gangsters, a badass robot, and a kid in danger. Is Burt up to saving the day, solving the crimes-or handling the return of his own memories?
