#29 The Cold Between by Elizabeth Bonesteel

The setting of the book a bit of a murder mystery and it seems that it may link back to a missing starship from 25 years ago.  Elena is on shore leave on the planet next to a wormhole that sends out an EMP blast every day like clockwork.  While she is out having drinks and consoling her broken heart her ex -boyfriend is murdered and by coincidence the man she spent the evening with is framed for Danny’s murder.  Once she is back up on the ship she finds out Trey, the man she whiled away a night of passion is being arrested as Danny’s killer.  With the captain giving her some time to figure out what is going on things start moving very quickly and she realizes that she doesn’t know as much about Danny as she thought as it seems he was working on the disappearance of a Central Corps ship in the area of the wormhole.

Things move off planet and towards the wormhole as things don’t appear to be what everyone first thought.  The story is good and the mystery of the wormhole is pretty much solved by the end of the book but there are more questions and a good ending for most of the people involved.
