Requiem Expiated

Set early in the 22nd century on Mars, a virtually lawless pioneer planet, Requiem Expiated is replete with serial killers, polyamorous relationships, BDSM, explicit sexual variations, and murder. Deputy Shelly Monroe pursues an elusive serial killer to the Tombstone-like mining town of Thoropolis following the missing person report of a prospector. Shelly believes him to be the victim of Mistress Diana, a transgender seductress who uses sex to ensnare her prey. The reader joins Shelly as she unravels a Gordian knot of conflicting leads, a murdered witness, Russian gangsters, and evil motives, all in pursuit of a sly and deadly suspect. As the narrative alternates between Shelly's point of view and that of her quarry, we get a peek into the minds of a smart, savvy cop and a cunning, sexy serial killer.
