A seasoned gunman named Jaro Moynahan is contracted to find and kill Karfial Hodes, the elusive leader of a brewing revolution on a sweltering Mercury. While meeting a popular red-headed singer in a crowded cabaret, he becomes entangled in sabotage, sudden disappearances, and the planet's secretive native inhabitants. Blinded by blackouts and drawn into subterranean danger, he must sift betrayed alliances and hidden motives to survive. The tale interweaves fast-paced pulp action with themes of political manipulation, frontier lawlessness, and the personal cost of violence amid a hostile, heat-drenched setting.
