But how is a man supposed to enforce laws that are unjust? How can he sacrifice innocents to a system he\'s not sure he believes in? How can Miles Flint do the right thing in a universe where the right thing is very, very wrong? This Endeavor Award-winning Novel is Flint\'s first adventure, the story that turns him from a police detective in the Armstrong Dome on the Moon into a Retrieval Artist.
Flint must enforce the law-giving the children to aliens, solving the murders, and arresting the woman for trying to save her own life.
Now three cases have collided: a stolen spaceyacht filled with dead bodies, two kidnapped human children, and a human woman on the run, trying to Disappear to avoid alien prosecution.
But alien laws often make no sense, and the punishments vary from loss of life to loss of a first-born child.
