Each Lagrange book is a stand-alone thrill ride. Read this one now and enjoy! Space pirates are hijacking high-value cargo bound for Lagrange and Nova Terra—clean thefts, no injuries, no evidence trail. And then pilot Moby Navarro turns up dead, killed during a heist in a way that seems deliberate, even personal. Interworld Marshal Cuss Abbott and his partner Ygo catch the case, and they team with Julie Kapoeta, an industrial security expert and friend from Cuss’s past. The investigation is seemingly stalled, and then Cuss is jumped by thugs with a message to back off. He doesn’t, and they attack again, this time putting him in the hospital. Soon after, Moby’s son and daughter-in-law are murdered, and his granddaughter is kidnapped, raising the stakes to a rescue mission. The clock is ticking and Cuss is determined to save the girl. But can he find where they’ve stowed her? And can he get to her before it’s too late
