Vb Ruth: The Citizen of Eastport, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Schemes, secrets, and queer desire collide in this story of intrigue, perfect for fans of LEVERAGE, LADY EVE'S LAST CON, and NO BODY, NO CRIME

Vi runs a bar, and that's all she does. Once she dreamed of fighting for justice alongside her first love, but tragedy taught her that some fights cost more than she's willing to pay. Amid the warring gangs and power-hungry tycoons that run the city of Eastport, she can count herself lucky if she manages to keep her family safe and her employees fed.

But luck has a way of turning, especially if someone with strings to pull wants something you have. Vi doesn't know who is targeting her livelihood or why, but if she can't find out soon, she'll end up like most honest citizens: indentured for life to one of the bigger powers, or dead.

Kilo is not an honest citizen, but being one of the city's finest thieves comes with its own problems. Ze's stolen something that's dangerous to have and dangerous to lose, and now ze has to turn zer skills to disposal instead of acquisition. Ze knows it's a bad idea to mix business with pleasure, but zer best chance might just lie with zer latest conquest, the secretive and captivating newcomer from offworld.

Tempe is an exile, returning to Earth after many years with a forged background and a secret agenda. Her plans have been carefully made and all the pieces set in place. But when her Eastport contact disappears, the trail leads her to the last place she expects: the bar run by the childhood sweetheart who once betrayed her.
