Lucinda worked hard to earn a place among Vensoog's law enforcement community. On her first assignment, compassion impels her to protect an alien mother and daughter fleeing off-planet bounty hunters. To ensure their safety, she must defeat a deadly Soturi warrior in hand-to-hand combat. Can she do it? Then she rescues a 'designer child' who is a younger double for herself from a sex trafficking ring. Can she solve this case and rescue the other children trapped by those same criminals? To do so she needs to catch a vicious Thieves Guild assassin. But even with the help of the best private eye on Vensoog, these are tough cases for a rookie cop.
