Produktbeschreibung

In order to expose a sinister, far-reaching criminal conspiracy, detective Jake Cardigan , the twenty-second century's most able private detective, must prove that an open-and-shut murder case is anything but Once again the inimitable William Shatner, Star Trek's original Captain Kirk and a true star of science fiction adventure, brings the future vibrantly alive in the eighth nonstop, action-packed futuristic caper featuring private investigator Jake Cardigan, sworn enemy of the all-powerful TekLords. Walt Bascom, head of the Cosmos Detective Agency, is in serious trouble. Video surveillance in the home of superrich businessman Dwight Grossman clearly shows Bascom murdering the entrepreneur in cold blood. Bascom swears he didn't do it, and he's relying on his agency's best investigator, Jake Cardigan, to prove it somehow. Jake and his partner, Sid Gomez, have their work cut out for them. The only "evidence" on their side is the testimony of the dead man's sister, Susan, who claims she's had telepathic visions of her brother's true death. But Susan is an admitted devotee of the powerful, reality-altering electronic drug Tek. Whoever wanted her brother dead-and Bascom accused-went to great lengths to set up the scheme, and those responsible are not going to sit idly by while a pair of snooping private eyes and a burned-out Tek fiend start digging for answers. To keep the killers' dark and very dirty secrets hidden, one corpse may not be enough. This ebook features an illustrated biography of William Shatner including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author's personal collection.
