Murder on Marawa prime - Vonnie Winslow Crist
Praise for Murder on Marawa Prime
Vonnie Winslow Crist serves up some deliciously dangerous interstellar noir in Murder on Marawa Prime. One part Raymond Chandler, one part Agatha Christie, and a huge dose of her own exceptionally clean prose and understated worldbuilding, this is a fast-moving nail-biter on a planet at once iconic and alien. Just one word of warning: don't aggravate the geneered singing opossum.
—Charles E. Gannon, author of The Tales of the Terran Republic series
Inventive and entertaining—a real thrill-ride!
—Gail Z. Martin, author of The Ascendent Kingdoms Saga and Chronicles of the Necromancer series
Just how easy is it to get away with murder on Marawa? When Flynn steps into a dead man's shoes, he's prepared for trouble. He's not expecting to fall for a woman with mismatched eyes, a troubled past and an assassin on her trail. A fast paced story of assassins, genetic engineering, singing opossums and betrayal, Vonnie Winslow Crist writes the future fantastic.
—Deborah Walker (also writes as Kelda Crich)
As a writer, editor, and artist, Vonnie is a gem of our science fiction - fantasy community
—Tom M. Doyle, author of American Craftsmen and The Left-Hand Way

The Gulzar to Antiquity City Loop was the most desirable bus route in this sector. Well-to-do tourists interested in archaeological finds, ancient ruins, and mineral springs water complexes boarded climate-controlled vehicles at the capital city's main transport station. With nothing to do but sit back and enjoy the scenery, the wealthy relaxed while their tour-guide/driver shuttled them from one site to another. And as a bonus, the route offered passengers eager to try their hand at games of chance, a convenient transfer station for a side trip to The Canyons gambling mecca.
Brownstone advertised and delivered a luxury experience to its customers. With his distinguished gray mustache and university-educated bearing, Spider had embodied everything Brownstone stood for. Unfortunately for him, somebody wanted his lucrative route, and was willing to commit murder to
