"The mystery is boggling, the bad guys numerous, and the dialogue snappy. Fast-paced with even faster trigger fingers" -Crazy Fun. The curse strikes.... Leaving two dead and the bar takings gone.... Marshal Harry Ward must solve a mystery 400 years in the making. She is the lone human stationed in Port City, and the only detective marshal. Although she never carries a gun and tries to avoid violence, she is the most successful detective the Marshal service has, in terms of closing cases. But this murder victim has secrets, and one of them might get her killed. Deputy Marshal Chunglie can keep his job only as long as Harry is alive. Not as easy as it sounds, but the four metre long alien centipede has a gun up each sleeve and several more riveted to his body. When people smugglers kidnap the only detective marshal they have, whodunnit and whytheydunnit has to wait, as Deputy Chunglie, his ex-wife, a robot barmaid and a defrocked Knight of Orion, strap on their guns and break out good old Plan B. Buy now, to find out who lives, who dies and who murdered the best bar keeper in Port City
