Stchvk Casefiles #1: Bad Egg and Broken Record

Meet Stchvk, a detective so hard-boiled he hatched from an egg. 

This saurian P.I. works the green streets of Layafflr City, bringing justice to the downtrodden of the triune Great Family.  Unfortunately, the downtrodden don’t pay very well.  The criminals of Layafflr have the money and power.  Stchvk does his best to balance the scales with sharp claws and a sharper wit.  He’ll solve your case or die trying.  All right, sustain critical injuries.  But he’ll absolutely take - or give - a beating if it’s necessary to success.  On the wide, wild frontier world of Spore, crime can take some strange and dangerous turns.  Only an investigator with experience on both sides of the law can chase down the truth and rip out its steaming entrails.  

If you want proof, read his recorded Casefiles.  In the first case, “Bad Egg”, an influential Herd hires Stchvk to prove the innocence of a member accused of public assault and worse, public indecency.  In his second case, “Broken Record”, Stchvk investigates a murder for a former love interest, while avoiding assassins, seductions, and his own sordid past.

Stchvk Casefiles #1 is the third book published in the Empyrean Dreams science-fiction setting created by Laine Megan Lundquist and Nathan Large.
