Two Guys Walk Into a Bar — Kathleen McClure

Two guys walk into a bar…

Everyone knows the joke, but no one is laughing when Zodiac operative Ray Slater's manhunt collides with fellow agent Harry Finn's covert op.

Outnumbered and outgunned, the pair form an uneasy partnership, one that takes them from the depths of Ã"cala's understreets to the pinnacle of its pleasure palaces, and straight into the heart of an interstellar crime syndicate.

Here, Ray and Harry become entangled with two of the syndicate's key players, women gifted with psionic abilities -- and burdened by secrets -- who will change both men's lives, forever.

Assuming, that is, they can survive the night.
