The first book in the Prefect Dreyfus Emergencies series.
"Tom Dreyfus is a Prefect, a policeman of sorts, and one of the best. His
force is Panoply, and his beat is the multi-faceted utopian society of
the Glitter Band, that vast swirl of space habitats orbiting the planet
Yellowstone. These days, his job is his life. A murderous attack against
a Glitter Band habitat is nasty, but it looks to be an open-and-shut
case - until Dreyfus starts looking under some stones that some very
powerful people would really rather stayed unturned. What he uncovers is
far more serious than mere gruesome murder: a covert takeover bid by a
shadowy figure, Aurora (who may once have been human but certainly isn't
now), who believes the people of the Glitter Band should no longer be
in charge of their own destiny. Dreyfus discovers that to save something
precious, you may have to destroy part of it."--Fantastic Fiction.
2007 BSFA Award for Best Novel (nominee).
