I was given this book free to read and review.Bases on the premise that every piece of information on the web is available with certain exceptions to everyone this detective novel set in the future and different planet is a change from the all action battles that feature in so many novels. It is thoughtfully laid out with a slowly developing plot with a murder being investigated by a detective, Pimm. The initial suspect, in fact the only suspect could not be mind-scanned the usual way of extracting information as she had just arrived from earth and did not have the necessary implants to allow it. Pimm because of his experience in questioning suspects prior to mind-scanning being available is assigned to the case. Pimm is open minded and investigates thoroughly and after twists and turns in the plot and a few red herrings gets to the truth. I enjoyed the book but at the end when all is revealed the final twist does seem contrived and not in keeping with the rest of the book.
