There are men who operate in the shadows because they are criminals. There are men who operate in the shadows because they are spies. And then there are men who make certain that nobody can tell the difference.

Nicholas Harrow has spent decades cultivating that distinction. To the criminal underworld, he is Lucky Nick - the impossible thief who can steal anything, escape anything, and stay one step ahead of every police force in known space. To law enforcement, he is Saint Nick - the mysterious fixer who appears whenever a case grows too complicated for ordinary methods, and who somehow solves crimes without ever making an arrest.

Neither reputation is entirely false. Neither is entirely true.

In the tense, decades-long Cold War between New Albion and the Aurigan Dominion, information has become more valuable than weapons - and someone has discovered that peace is bad for business.

When trade attaché Susan Hollis answers a knock at her hotel room door on neutral Meridian Station, she finds a dying stranger, a small encrypted device that appears to hold nothing at all, and three final words that will send half the galaxy searching for one particular man: Find Nicholas Harrow.

What Susan uncovers - one careful step at a time, across three suspicious intelligence services, a criminal underworld that adores him, and a conspiracy six years in the making - is a war being manufactured for profit, and a man who may be the only person capable of stopping it, if he can survive being hunted by everyone at once.

A science-fiction espionage thriller in the tradition of classic Cold War intrigue, The Empty Dispatch Case is a story of elegant deception, competing loyalties, and a hero who relies on intelligence rather than force - for readers who love a mystery built on trust, reputation, and the secrets worth dying to protect.
