Résumé :
STAGE A PRISON BREAK! Neptune is behind bars for a crime he didn't commit. Now he's accused of murder. Uniform lieutenant Sylvia Stryker finally has the career she's always wanted, but none of it matters while Neptune sits in a Federation prison. When a notorious space pirate is murdered inside the facility and Neptune becomes the prime suspect, Sylvia knows someone is determined to make sure he never walks free. To prove his innocence, Sylvia must outwit a corrupt galactic bureaucracy, expose a conspiracy that reaches far beyond the prison walls, and stay one step ahead of enemies who'd rather see them both disappear. This time, solving the mystery isn't just about justice-it's the only way to save the person she loves. Framed on a Moon Trek is the fourth Sylvia Stryker Space Mystery. Each book is a standalone mystery with a continuing character arc. Perfect for readers who enjoy humorous space adventures, clever mysteries, and high-stakes sci-fi whodunits. ?...

Boldly go where no cozy has gone before... Uniform Lieutenant Sylvia Stryker is about to depart on her fourth Moon Trek, this time while mentor-and-more, Neptune, serves time in a Federation Council prison for a crime he didn't commit.
