    About this ebook

    Aldon never got anywhere on his good looks, at least not according to his late wife.

    At forty-two, his only companion is a cat named Tilly, and he’s turned to drinking in his off-hours to quiet the discontent in his head. As a city cop, he carries a heavy weight on his shoulders. Though he’s troubled by his own problems, he never lets them get in the way of helping people.

    Now he’s needed more than ever. When the daughter of a nobleman goes missing, Aldon is sent to an alien planet to retrieve her.

    But there’s one catch. The woman he seeks is unique. She is a siren, and she can raise the dead.
