Murder turns a quiet month of shore leave into a nightmare for Chief Engineer Kay Ellis and Captain Magdalene Landon of the Black Flag. When a member of their crew is implicated in the killing of a young woman, the privateers find themselves pawns in an interplanetary diplomatic struggle that predates any of them. With little evidence to support their claims of innocence, an alien government eager to make examples of the human visitors, and the eyes of two superpowers watching their every move, every passing day brings them closer to ruin.

A routine tax fraud investigation. A trip down the extraterrestrial highway. A chance encounter with a mysterious visitor from outer space. He should have left it there. But Alfred Favero, a senior analyst with the IRS, couldn’t. Now he’s suspended from work and on the run from shadowy government agents as he tries to protect an ambassador from another world.
