"From the Nebula and Hugo Award-winner comes a noir mystery on a colonized Mars, where everything is cheap, and life is even cheaper. Alex Lomax is a P.I. working the mean streets of New Klondie, a domed Martian city that sprang to life in the wake of the booming fossil market. 40-years-ago, Simon Weingarten and Denny O'Reilly discovered evidence of ancient life on Mars, and these fossils quickly became valuable antiquities. Now the motherlode of cold cases has landed in Lomax's lap - the decades old murders of Simon and Denny, and God only knows what he may dig up."--Publisher.
