This elite team of experts in science and survival are ready for the challenges of the Red Planet and the deadly criminal forces scheming in darkened tunnels and in the halls of power.When aging rock star Stefan da Silva tours Mars, it's his last hope to revive his fading career. When a headless corpse is discovered, the elite investigators of Maxwell's Demons must unravel the web of sex, drugs, and rock and roll that connects Silva to the victim. But they face unexpected opposition from the rocker's biggest fan, notorious former captain Nick Aames, as well as a criminal conspiracy that threatens the fate of the city. Can they assemble the pieces of this puzzle and trap the killer?
Also included: "Riding the Storm Out". A routine prisoner transfer turns into a deadly pursuit for Chief Morais, with the life of her deputy chief on the line.
Publishers Weekly said of The Last Campaign (the first Maxwell City story): ‘The wonders and dangers of living in space are grounded in the grit of Martian sand and the procedural mysteries that could just as easily have taken place on Earth as in space. This is smart, subtle speculative fiction.'' Now the story continues in Thrash Metal Homicide, the second episode of Maxwell's Demons, a new series of mysteries on Mars.
