But bodies are now being discovered in Chicago in circumstances chillingly familiar to those who know Holmes’ story. Could a copycat killer be on the loose in the city? Or is something even more sinister about to come to light?

What sorcery are these blurbs that they would make you buy my adult oriented sci-fi anthology Space Police Files, five eyewitness accounts of crime in the effed up sectors of the Milky Way.

From exploding cloud virgins, rescuing bad kitties, and serial killer shape shifters, it’s just another shift for the space police. Five short stories set in an interconnected galaxy with more twists and turns than the Kessel run and bigger shocks than the lightning storm that ate George Kirk.

The Case of the Exploding Vapor Virgin: A hostage negotiator’s first day on the job turns explosive when a cloud-like Kleudian takes out his anger at the galaxy on unsuspecting customers at the Centauri Credit Union.

The Case of the Dead Beat Cadet: A young space cadet gets more than he bargained for when he’s assigned to shadow a veteran on the largest space station in the quadrant. With a thriving drug trade running amuck on the station, will he rise to new heights or end up discarded feline vomit?

The Case of the Golem Gopher: A tattoo artist in the Chicago Undercity, Pipani Shariff had nothing to look forward to besides a short life trading services for food until a wealthy Uppercity family selects her for surrogacy. Pipani, however, soon discovers even the flying paradise has its demons.

The Case of the Duplicate Policy: Office Randy Goldman takes out extra insurance of the genetic variety- cloning himself to help with his caseload. Everything seems great, until his friends and family decide they prefer the clone to the original.

The Case of the Samhain Slasher: It’s All Hallow’s Eve on the darkest planet in the Milky Way with a shapeshifting killer on the loose. Detective Linh must use her empathic abilities to root out the killer before sunrise or else endless war stretches across the galaxy.
