With the Jedi all but wiped out in the grim aftermath of Order 66, the
Empire's power seems unchecked. But one lone Knight continues to fight
the good fight-against all odds and when all else fails.
Deep in the bowels of Coruscant, Jedi Jax Pavan ekes out a living as a
private investigator, a go-to, can-do guy for the downtrodden. Now a
mysterious Zeltron knockout named Deejah approaches Jax with a case that
needs to be cracked: to find out who killed her artist lover Volette,
brutally murdered hours after his triumphant unveiling of a dazzling new
light sculpture with obvious links to lightsaber pyrotechnics.
Finding Volette's killer won't be easy-too many secrets, too many
suspects, and all kinds of motives. But with the droid I-5YQ's help, and
ex-reporter Den Dhur's excellent snooping skills, the investigation is
soon operating like a well-oiled machine.
Unfortunately, there's a far more efficient machine hunting Jax. It's a
deadly game of cat-and-mouse as the clock starts ticking toward the
final explosive showdown . . . to see who strikes first and who will die
first.
