Maximillian Sagan-robot owner and space entrepreneur-just informed the good officer a murderer is among the guests of his latest garden party.

Or at least find a body. The situation becomes more urgent when Sagan perishes in an apparent collision with a chunk of falling space debris.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWas Maximillian Sagan just incredibly unlucky, or was he murdered? If he wasn't, who was-or will be-the victim? Gus has plenty of suspects among the Sagan household: an aging actor, a reality TV star, a psychic, Maximillian's third wife, and a wannabe vampire. Gus isn't sure which of them is the villain or which he'd like to see wind up dead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIdentity theft, a sabotaged rocket launch, singularly unhelpful FBI agents, and a crash course in philosophy might lead Gus to a killer.
