About This Book

A hard-bitten former reporter turned police corporal arrives on a crowded Martian outpost to enforce a reform program and clean up gangs and municipal corruption. He battles organized crews, exposes forged documents and bribery, and navigates administrative resistance, political maneuvering, and crooked lawmen while relying on a few honest colleagues. The plot traces investigations, arrests, electioneering and recalls, and culminates in a campaign to unmask entrenched graft and secure civic institutions under the planet's dome.
