Everybody lies. Watch your back.

Sure, Agent Toni Delle has trust issues. Mate, her canine robot partner and Zach, her attitude-enabled shipboard Computer Intelligence Interface constantly tell her that - but as she told them, that was because of The Smuggler.

She would have refused her new mission altogether if it wasn't for the insane amount of money... Oh, who was she kidding - danger, betrayal, secrets, lies - these were all the things she loved about her job. She just didn't expect The Smuggler would be involved. If she'd known that she would have told her boss to jump out of an airlock, in space, without a suit.

So she takes the mission: find and stop a new weapon being manufactured and smuggled into the hands of criminal elements all over the galaxy. And hey, while she's at it, can she also find the missing weapons designer linked to these shipments?

The only problem is she has to rely on information provided by The Smuggler himself. And he may not be the only one capable of betrayal.
