The world is enormous and complicated. Dozens of inhabited planets, four humanoid races, a central government and private colonies, black spots on the Galaxy map, and entire dissident states. But people remain people even if they own personal starships and wear chip implants: they still love and hate, discover new lands and cultivate old ones, trade and wage war, create works of art and commit crimes. Sometimes they kill.
Sometimes different people try to kill Delia Berg, which is why in the medical insurance of a young, beautiful woman, gunshot wounds are listed. Delia has a complicated past, which she prefers not to talk about. At work she is always armed, and her boss is a rather peculiar man. His profession is an inquisitor.
