At Bijoux de L'Étoile, the high-end casino orbiting Earth, anything can happen. It's a quiet day for L'Étoile lead investigator, Janey McCallister, until a young woman runs screaming through the blackjack tables. She looks like a victim of abuse, but when her boyfriend turns up dead the next day, she becomes the prime suspect. Determined to investigate every angle, Janey searches for clues and uncovers a world of high-priced escorts and human trafficking-a world just like the one that took the life of her best friend long ago. When Orlando Valdez, inspector for Sol Unified Planets, shows up with a new suspect, Janey isn't sure she can trust the mercurial man who stopped returning her phone calls. But as the threats escalate and she unravels a deeper conspiracy, Janey and her team will need all the help they can get. If they fail, it could be the end of everyone on L'Étoile. *** Lured By Light, the second book in the Janey McCallister Mystery series, is perfect for fans of J.D.
