The Sapphire Sirens — John Zakour

My life is full of questions...

Such as: why have I been knocked out by the beautiful sapphire-haired amazon Kiana and man-napped to her home isle of Lantis, a forcefield-hidden ocean queendom of exactly 10,000 women, all of whom can dominate men with their minds? Well, partly its because Kiana's mother, the queen, was murdered, and their "utopian" society isn't prepared to deal with such a crime without an expert. But mostly, I think, its because I'm Zachary Nixon Johnson, the world's last freelance P.I., and the universe just loves to mess with me.

There I was, together with my holographic A.I. sidekick HARV, and the royal family of Lantis said they needed us to sniff out the gal who snuffed out the queen. But something didn't smell right, and it wasn't just a plumbing problem at the public baths. Because while the similarity of Kiana's sisters -- Luca the kindly social worker, Mara the hyper scientist, and Andra the aggressive warrior security chief -- ended with their sapphire hair, each could have a motive for the murder. And since you mention it, Kiana could, too....

Now someone's trying to turn the tables on HARV and me, and I'm realizing that one poisoned queen could be just the beginning. So the real question is: can I solve the case, save the world, and stand up for my best friend, all while dealing with not just one or two superpowered women, but a whole island full of them?
