His name: Miles Flint. His occupation: Retrieval Artist. His job: find
the Disappeared--outlaws on the run, wanted for crimes against alien
cultures. The catch: Flint isn't working on the side of the law anymore.
One simple mistake and a Disappeared could end up dead. But this time,
the death of an ailing Retrieval Artist has caught Flint's attention. He
suspects it was foul play, not a viral infection. Equally suspicious is
a young woman's sudden demise during the Moon's prestigious Extreme
Marathon. As Flint investigates, he finds an ominous connection. Both
deaths lead back to a scientist--a scientist who is now one of the
Disappeared.
