Smuggler's Justice Melissa Robitille

Within moments of arriving on Amazon, Master Smuggler Sophocles Errant is witness to a brutal murder. But he's an off-worlder, a cyborg, and a man - guilty until proved innocent as far as the ruling party is concerned. He's got big secrets to hide, and it's not just his life at stake; things will get much worse if those secrets get out. It's just days before the election, and Sophocles - and whether or not he's the real murderer - become a hot potato political issue. Things heat up further when his lawyer's family complicates matters - her grandmother is the retiring Prime Minister, her mother's the candidate for the party that wants to see him dead, her aunt's planning a coup, and her cousin is a psychopath. She ought to be conflicted, but Melia Dawn is serious about getting her client the justice he deserves, even if the entire corrupt justice system is stacked against her.
