Synopsis

Juno is a dirty cop with a difficult past and an uncertain future. When his family and thousands of others emigrated to the colony world of Lagarto, they were promised a bright future on a planet with a booming economy. But before the colonists arrived, everything changed. An opportunistic Earth-based company developed a way to produce a cheaper version of Lagarto's main export, thus effectively impoverishing the planet and all its inhabitants. Growing up on post-boom Lagarto, Juno is but one of the many who live in despair. Once he was a young cop in the police department of the capital city of Koba. That was before he started taking bribes from Koba's powerful organized crime syndicate. Yet despite his past sins, some small part of him has not given up hope. So he risks his life, his marriage, and his job to expose a cabal that would enslave the planet for its own profit. When he's confronted with a dead man and a short list of leads, his problems become even more pressing. Set up for a fall, partnered with a beautiful young woman whose main job is to betray him, and caught in a squeeze between the police chief and the crooked mayor, "Juno" is a compelling, sympathetic hero in a world that has no heroes.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Juno is a dirty cop... Juno Mozambe works the steamy streets of Lagarto, a failed colony world rotten with economic and moral decay. Once feared as the corrupt police chief’s bare-knuckled enforcer, he is now a collections man, taking a cut from all the action—prostitution, gambling, drugs. Burdened by the weight of decades of brutal misdeeds, he considers himself retired from his violent past. But when an army lieutenant is found dead outside a whorehouse, stabbed fourteen times and ritualistically mutilated, Juno’s former partner, Chief Chang, calls in a favor. He assigns Juno to the case and inexplicably partners him up with the earnest but inexperienced Maggie Orzo. Together, Juno and Maggie must untangle the twisted web spun by a ruthless serial killer, a vicious crime lord, and a mysterious offworlder. To discover the truth, they’ll have to expose Lagarto’s darkest secrets, and all before Juno’s past comes crashing into the present.
