Rath thought that defeating the Janus Group and stealing back his hard-earned fortune might help ease his guilty conscience. But when he returns to the planet Scapa to find the woman he loves, his past crimes finally catch up to him. And the police aren’t Rath’s only concern: someone’s put a price on his head. Rath will need to figure out who his new enemy is if he wants to stay alive. His old friend Beauceron can’t help him – especially not when Rath’s former colleague, Paisen Oryx, is the primary suspect in the detective’s latest investigation. The three former allies each work to unravel the truth in a growing conspiracy, but will fate bring them together as friends or enemies?
