Sleuth long and prosper!
When Sylvia Stryker boards her space cruise as a lowly uniform lieutenant, it's with an eye toward the future. After space pirates destroyed the life she knew, she's counting on the trek to Venus to give her a fresh start. Even her side gig working for security stud Neptune feels full of possibilities. But when she finds a body outside her ward after the departure point, her fresh start is as sullied as a worn uniform. The victim is the winner of a contest designed to hype the voyage, and if other VIPs on board get wind of the crime, the certain scandal will jettison Sylvia's dreams.
Soon the amorous pull of Venus causes romantic chaos on board, threatening to compromise Sylvia's investigation-especially after she learns the murder victim's secret relationship to her boss. Even worse, she discovers what's waiting for the passengers when they reach the Love Planet and it's not a Valentine. A dangerous threat lurks aboard the space cruise, and if Sylvia can't expose it, she'll be laundering uniforms in the intergalactic afterlife.
