"Selei City is the capital of the Imperialate and one of the most desired locales in all of the Skolian Empire. But its thin veneer of civilization is cracked when a series of brutal crimes implicates those in political power in a vast conspiracy. Three prominent scientists have lost their lives to a serial killer-and notes at the scenes of the crimes lead to a connection to the Royalist political party. Major Bhaajan, former military officer turned private detective, is called back to Selei City to solve the crime. Bhaaj and her crew of Undercity Dust Knights plunge into the Byzantine world of Imperial politics-a jigsaw world where none of the pieces seem to fit. As the assassination plot becomes more and more convoluted, Bhaaj is kidnapped, threatened with death, and must fight for her life against the growing number of people threatened by her investigation. Bhaaj has faced all this and more, but now she must deal with something far deadlier-interstellar politics"-- Provided by publisher

"Bhaajan grew up in the Undercity, a community hidden in the ruins buried beneath the glittering City of Cries on the imperial planet Raylicon. Caught between the astonishing beauty and crushing poverty of that life, and moved by wanderlust, she enlisted in the military. Now Major Bhaajan is a private investigator who solves cases for, among other clients, the House of Majda, the royal family centered in Cries. The powerful elite of the City of Cries are disappearing, and only Bhaajan, who grew up in the Undercity, can find them--if she isn't murdered first. But if she survives, waiting for Bhaajan is a revelation that may transform Cries--and the Empire itself--forever."-- Provided by publisher
