Synopsis
From the Aurealis Award-winning author of A Crucible of Souls.
Inquisitor Angel Xia, former mercenary turned detective, is used to being the hunter. But on another routine murder investigation the bodies begin to pile up, and Angel finds herself a target of sinister powers determined to conceal the truth.
The hunter has just become the hunted.
Betrayed by those she trusted most, and barely escaping assassination attempts, Angel receives a cryptic message from child begging for her help. Framed for horrific crimes, the only chance to clear her name is inextricably linked to a little girl.
Running for her life, Angel races to forgotten places at the edges of known space that hold the darkest secrets of humanity...and the greatest threat to its future.
And all will be determined by what she chooses to do next. That is...if she can stay alive.
Reviews:
"What a great story. I hope there is a sequel. Or not. I don't know how the author could top this one. It's all you could want in sci-fi and more."
"The interplay between the two lead characters, Angel and Charlotte, is great. I don't know if this is the start of a series or a standalone, but I'm hoping it's the former."
"Crime noir. Fugitive quest. Thelma and Louise. Treasure hunt. Terminator chase."
"Inquisitor is an awesome adventure, choc full of mysteries as the Inquisitor attempts to solve a series of murders, and finds herself drawn into the conspiracies and machinations of the decadent megacorporations, and enigmatic Genevolves. Awesome story, hope there will be more."
