All I wanted was to drink until I couldn't remember Madelyn anymore, but a former detective can't ignore a murdered dame in his compartment. Why would someone kill such a beauty and why'd they choose me to take the fall?
It'll be generations before the Starship Australis reaches Tau Ceti, but I only have days to clear my own name. To find the killer, I'll have to dive into the ship's seedy underworld of prostitutes, dealers, assassins and one seriously pissed off crime boss. Then, once it's over, maybe I can make time with my gorgeous bartender, or at least get back to drinking enough to forget what a mess my life's become.
Inspired by the hardboiled grit of Mickey Spillane and the concision of Elmore Leonard, Chivalry Will Get You Dead is a sci-fi / mystery mash-up devised in the best traditions of the dime store paperback. It is the first in the Murder on the Starship Australis series, itself part of the 10 Cent Universe - a genre-bending macrocosm.
This book contains adult language, themes and content.
