“All I wanted was to drink until I couldn’t remember Madelyn anymore, but a former detective can’t just ignore a murdered dame in his compartment. Why would someone kill such a beauty and why’d they choose me to take the fall? “To find the murderer, and clear my own name, I gotta dive into the Starship Australis’ seedy underworld of prostitutes, dealers, assassins and one seriously pissed off crime boss. Then, maybe, I can make time with my gorgeous bartender, or at least get back to drinking enough to forget what a mess my life’s become.” Inspired by the grit of Mickey Spillane and the concision of Elmore Leonard, Chivalry Will Get You Dead is a sci-fi / mystery mash-up devised in the best traditions of the dime store paperback. It is the first in the Starship Australis Mysteries series, itself part of the 10 Cent Universe – a genre-bending macrocosm. This story contains adult themes and language.
