In a lawless, artificial world existing within its own parallel universe there’s a seething cesspool of vice ruled by an eccentric AI. Detectives Col and Danee are sent to Jubilee on a hastily organised mission to recover the body of a leading conservative politician (someone it seems, has been a naughty boy). But the corpse has been switched and the imperilled partners are drawn together. They might be falling in love, or they might be saving the galaxy - either way the authorities will not be pleased.
