Leaving Earth was the best thing for Mallory Veridian. The ‘murder magnet’ is almost alone on a sentient space station packed with alien races. Mallory isn’t a) being accused of murder b) solving said murder before the cops have even called for forensics.
However, Eternity has been conducting some back door diplomacy with Earth; she's invited a shuttle full of humans to come visit. It contains diplomats, plain clothes military, some ‘lucky’ winners and at least one murderer.
Mallory’s quiet life just got tossed out of the airlock.
For Mur's other work try 'Six Wakes'
