Description

AN OFF-WORLD MURDER MYSTERY

Tanya Jones is given a short notice assignment by her boss at the United Nations Investigations Committee on Human Rights Abuse. (UNICHRA) The assignment is to investigate allegations of commercial oppression in the form of contractual misconduct and the imposition of unacceptable living conditions in a remote mining location.

Accepting the job, Tanya is told that her assignment will take her there and back in just four months. That remote location is Mars. Unknowingly, she is a replacement for her colleague David Wilkie, an implanted CIA operative who dies in a street accident days before he is due to leave. She is then blackmailed by the CIA into taking Willkie’s’ place to spy on the propulsion technology used by the civil organization she will be investigating.
