On a lawless Mars, Jim Meade has stayed alive by refusing to pick a side. One desperate favor is about to make him the most hunted man on the planet.
Meade is a runabout: a man with no flag, no boss, and no future beyond the brutal zero-G cage fights that keep the Martian colonies entertained. When a rigged match leaves him owing a fortune to a warlord who buries the men who cannot pay, Meade is one bad day from a shallow grave in the red desert.
Then a Coalition officer walks into his bar with a way out. Clear her father's name, she says, and the debt disappears. Easy money. Meade has done worse for less.
But the simple job drags him into a conspiracy that runs from the smoky bars of the underworld all the way to the highest seat of power on Mars, and someone up there will do anything to keep it buried. Framed for a crime he did not commit and hunted by the same government that hired him, Meade is suddenly holding a secret the whole planet would kill to own.
What he has not figured out is that he was never the one playing the game. He was the piece.
To survive the change in management, Meade will need every ounce of wit, whiskey, and guts he has, plus a few he has not earned yet. Because on Mars, the truth does not set you free. It gets you buried.
Perfect for fans of the hard-boiled swagger of Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files, the lived-in solar system of The Expanse, and the neon-noir future of Altered Carbon.
Change in Management is the award-winning first book in Jim Meade: Martian P.I., where the whiskey is homemade, the gravity is negotiable, and every simple case ends with the fate of humanity on the table.
