The return of Katharine Kerr's POLAR CITY BLUES!

Who spells her name the same way as I do, I might add. Take a look at this great e-book cover:



Here's the scoop! It's time for another great SF novel.

Polar City Blues (Science Fiction)
Katharine Kerr
June 14, 2011 $4.99 ISBN: 978 1 61138 063 7

An alien spy turns up dead in Hagar, capital city of The Republic, a pitiful handful of worlds stuck between the powerful Interstellar Confederation and the huge Coreward Alliance. Police Chief Al Bates needs to solve the murder fast before the political ramifications destabilize the precarious balance between the three. Unfortunately for him, the one person who can help him plays by her own rules: Bobbie Lacey, one of the infamous information brokers who exist on the margins of his authority.


Katharine Kerr spent her childhood in a Great Lakes industrial city and her adolescence in Southern California, whence she fled to the San Francisco Bay Area just in time to join a number of the Revolutions then in progress. After fleeing those in turn, she became a professional story-teller and an amateur skeptic, who regards all True Believers with a jaundiced eye, even those who true-believe in Science.
