Synopsis

Selei City is the capital of the Imerialte and one of the most desired locales in all of the Skolian Empire. But its thin veneer of civilization is cracked when a series of brutal crimes implicates those in political power in a vast conspiracy. Three
prominent scientists have lost their lives to a serial killer—and notes at the scenes of the crimes lead to a connection to the Royalist political party.

Major Bhaajan, former military officer turned private detective, is called back to Selei City to solve the crime. Bhaaj and her crew of Undercity Dust Knights plunge into the Byzantine world of Imperial politics—a jigsaw world where none of the
pieces seem to fit. As the assassination plot becomes more and more convoluted, Bhaaj is kidnapped, threatened with death, and must fight for her life against the growing number of people threatened by her investigation. Bhaaj has faced all
this and more, but now she must deal with something far deadlier—interstellar politics.

While all the Major Bhaajan books address the politics of the world(s) and cities in which the mysteries take place, this 4th entry really focuses on the different political factions and interests that co-exist in Selei City.

Joy! Happiness! Another Skolian Empire Book A new entry in the Skolian Empire focusing on the Major Bhaajan portion rather than the Ruby Dynasty family. Excellent as usual with a look at politics in the Capitol World of the Empire. Oddly enough they seem similar to politics on Earth. Very enjoyable a......more

Goodreads review by Sarah on July 21, 2022

This series keeps getting better and better. I love that it ties into an even bigger story line (one I have not yet read). I’m really enjoying the progression of the characters and the growing relationship between Bhaaj and the Majdas. I really hope there’s more to come!......more
