Opis

Harlan Ames-formerly the head of Security for Swift Enterprises in the Tom Swift adventures-has made the Moon his permanent residence for decades. More than he cares to think about. Now, as the Chief Commissioner of Security for the Dark Side of the Moon, he tries to let his underlings do the hard work. But, after falling for a singer in one of the nightclubs, he finds himself deep in her troubles as she is arrested for murdering a man she knew years earlier. To make things worse, the man's wife comes up to serve him with divorce papers only to find him dead and Harlan's lady friend the obvious one who did it. What's a cop supposed to do, and how does he keep up his hard-boiled dick persona? This a a fun and funny mystery written in the style of the detective stories of the 1930s and 1940s with a good heap of science fiction tossed in. Oh, did we forget to tell you there is an absolutely horrible weapon and the overthrow of all of Russia and ... well, read the book
