Ho Malone, Chicago detective, and his able colleagues specialize in cases that require expertise in physics and technology in 2040s London. International Planetary Transport contacts Malone and his Quantum Detectives to investigate the disappearance of Joe Roy Peabody, better known as Helvis, the greatest entertainer of the day, lost while traveling to the mining city of Dis on Mars to perform a benefit concert for the miners. His transport ship, owned and operated by IPT, has vanished in space. Immediate suspects include figures of wealth and global influence: a multinet soft-porn queen, a Hollywood movie mogul, a multi-media evangelist, Helvis's own agent and promoter, and the proprietors of GeoSol, an underground company competing with IPT for the budding space-travel market, all with youthful and seemingly friendly ties to Helvis. Full of fast-paced action, devious villains, subtle humor, and steamy romance, E. S. Louis's international neo-noir detective thriller combines science fiction with classic whodunit and a growing list of quirky, energetic characters in a streetwise narrative that opens a cosmic wormhole to more exciting mysteries to come.
