It's not a book (yet), but I just put up the second part of my two-part space opera murder mystery, Why the Weirwan? on my website http://cliffordvanmeter.com. I'd love to have people read and comment on it. This is a prequel to my upcoming book, Vengeance is a Wheel, which will be released next month. It's free to read for a limited time. Here's a blurb on it: ----- Federation Marshals Geos Ah’rion Rassas rel Pen’atha (known as Orion) and his partner Danni Jahleel have been diverted by an emergency hyperspace relay message from delivering a prisoner to the Federation Justice Center on Midway. While their prisoner is sent on ahead, Orion and Danni find themselves faced with investigating the murder of a non-human scientist on a Federation science outpost.
