Syl Raynor knows that PI work amongst the stars is just as dull as it is on Terra: missing persons, cheating spouses, and conspiracy theories. But when she's given one last case to determine whether she'll keep her job, Syl is catapulted into the middle of an intergalactic mystery with far-reaching consequences.

On the remote planet of Z'h'ar, Syl will have to learn to be a real investigator if she's going to keep her job… and her life.

Meanwhile, the diary of her missing sister burns a hole in her pocket. Does Z'h'ar hold the key to decrypting it?
