Cadence Turing Mysteries

Chance Hale is more interested in running around with fascinating women than following in his father's footsteps as head of the billion-dollar tech company Halcyon Enterprises. Called home for an important announcement, Chance seeks to liven up the weekend retreat by bringing along the first interesting woman he finds: an alluring young lady named Cadence Turing, who claims to be visiting his home planet Arrhidaeus from the planet Paraesepe. But when someone turns up murdered, all evidence points to Chance and all ideas of a future for him are erased. Of all the house's guests, his weekend companion seems to believe she can prove his innocence, though she's hesitatant to admit how. Can the two help each other before it's too late?

The system is falling apart. Political turmoil leaves no one's life untouched, including captain of industry Chance Hale and detective-story-obsessed android Cadence Turing. Recently reunited after successfully solving the murder of Chance's father, the pair struggle to find their footing in a rapidly changing world. The death of an android rights activist puts them in the path of a desperate killer with everything to lose. As they navigate the planet Arrhidaeus' seedy underworld in search of answers, they strive to answer a single question: does the past ever stay buried?

Relationships are never easy. Captain of industry Chance Hale and android detective Cadence Turing know that better than most. Struggling to find their place together, an attempt on Chance's life soon eclipses all other problems. When the attack on him is linked to a recent murder, things begin to spin completely out of control. Drug runners, freedom fighters, law enforcement officers-everyone and everything seems to be conspiring against Chance and Cadence as the pair are forced to reckon with fallout from a war worlds away.
