An enjoyable short detective story set in the newly settled areas of Mars. In contrast to the more forward thinking government, the members of the corporations want to maintain the planet for the wealthy professionals, allowing only a few poor immigrants to fill the unpopular drudgery positions such as cleaners and farm labourers. Meanwhile, on Earth, as conditions continue to deteriorate, increasing numbers of people with little hope of ever improving their lifestyle above subsistence level, and looking to Mars as their future.Sent

The body of a young Hispanic woman is found buried in sand miles away from the habitats. Who is she, and how did she get there? Veteran chief detective Ace Sloane of Liberty Police Force and rookie detective Kate Hammer work together to solve this, and other, murders uncovering a larger political conspiracy and widespread prejudice.
Somewhat surprisingly, the narration is not by Richard Wilson who read the earlier stories, but by Leslie Starr O'Hara whose strident voice was initially difficult to relate to the subject matter. However, her reading was clear and delivery good, even if there were disconcertingly long pauses between chapters.

A quick read, interesting murder mystery and crime scene scenario, simply written but.covering a complex subject. Recommended.
