With the Jedi all but wiped out in the grim aftermath of Order 66, the Empireâs power seems unchecked. But one lone Knight continues to fight the good fightâagainst all odds and when all else fails.
Deep in the bowels of Coruscant, Jedi Jax Pavan ekes out a living as a private investigator, a go-to, can-do guy for the downtrodden. Now a mysterious Zeltron knockout named Deejah approaches Jax with a case that needs to be cracked: to find out who killed her artist lover Volette, brutally murdered hours after his triumphant unveiling of a dazzling new light sculpture with obvious links to lightsaber pyrotechnics.
Finding Voletteâs killer wonât be easyâtoo many secrets, too many suspects, and all kinds of motives. But with the droid I-5YQâs help, and ex-reporter Den Dhurâs excellent snooping skills, the investigation is soon operating like a well-oiled machine.
Unfortunately, thereâs a far more efficient machine hunting Jax. Itâs a deadly game of cat-and-mouse as the clock starts ticking toward the final explosive showdown . . . to see who strikes first and who will die first.
Features a bonus section following the novel that includes a primer on the Star Wars expanded universe, and over half a dozen excerpts from some of the most popular Star Wars books of the last thirty years!
