Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

They are the elite agents of interstellar investigation. Their mission: solve off-Earth crimes and protect humanitys starside interests. They are the men and women of the Bureau of Special Investigations–BSI–and their cases are literally out of this world.

The message was garbled, but it appeared to be a simple enough request: escort a human prisoner convicted of murder back to Earth for punishment. But when BSI agents Jamie Mendez and Hannah Wolfson arrive on a planet settled by the enigmatic Pavlat, it seems that everyone is determined to kill them before they can complete their mission–or even find out what it is. And on a planet where murder is a time-honored tradition, Death is a cause everyone believes in. Mendez and Wolfson must find a way to untangle the web of Pavlavian intrigue obscuring the case and sort out whats really going on. But theres far more than just one mans life at stake–and soon theyll have a fresh murder to solve….

Synopsis:

In this first of a new series by the author of the Chronicles of Solace trilogy, two agents' seemingly simple mission to bring back a human prisoner from an alien world turns into a deadly political battle for survival. Original.

Synopsis:

The seasoned Bureau of Special Investigation agents are on their most covert and explosive mission yet, in this thrilling conclusion to Allen's widely acclaimed interplanetary trilogy. Original.
