#33 Blood Orbit by K.R. Richardson
Jun. 14th, 2018 08:59 amA police procedural on a corporate run planet is the quick way to discuss the plot. Matheson is a rookie cop that doesn’t want to trade on his powerful corporate family name. A few weeks into walking a beat with his slightly bent trainer they come across a mass murder in an after-hours club. There is pressure from on high to clear the case, so much so that a newly made cyborg forensics office is told to work the case and solve it as fast as he can. Dillal is trying to still integrate his new tech and work in a world where he is among the lower classes on the planet. There is lots of race politics going on in the story and Dilal’s background does work both for and against solving the case. Matheson’s background works against him along with his ignorance of the local culture, only until the last quarter of the story does his background help him at all with the case.
A good mystery and plot and I’ll be looking for more books in the series.
