    About this ebook

    Murder aboard a star ship! Murder most foul! A true whodunit! Kiran, the luxury liner's in-house detective, must discover the culprit. But who is it? Is it the owner of the competing star ship line, the strange personal assistant, the woman's steward, or even the captain of the Cassiopeia, himself? Kiran and her little robot sidekick, Watson, must find the murderer, before the murderer finds them!
