From bodies found in zero-gravity brothels to mysterious severed limbs, Lane’s reputation as the town peacemaker takes him deep into the heart of murder, intrigue, and political machinations in Georgina’s Town. But it's not just about solving crimes; Lane must face the demons of his own past, new enemies he didn’t know he had, and even the impossible notion that Serials—the non-human citizens—might feel emotions just as strongly as humans.
