Ptolemy Lane Tales
About this ebook series
On the fringes of known space, Ptolemy Lane keeps the peace his own way.
When a murder inside the one place he refuses to police drags him into a mystery, it strikes at the oldest question in his life.
Georgina’s Town is a domed city on the distant world of Abbatangelo, where nearly thirty thousand residents have paid dearly for the privilege of living somewhere civilized. Ptolemy Jovan Lane is the peacemaker who keeps it that way.
The Desiderata casino and brothel is the exception. Lane told its owner, Guisy Oakmint, to clean up his own messes. But when Oakmint is found with his throat cut inside a zero-gravity suite, Doc Lowry insists Lane take a closer look.
The reason is impossible to ignore: an undocumented human may be involved.
Lane has waited nearly three hundred years for evidence that natural humans are changing. As the murder investigation leads through doctored surveillance, vanished suspects, a strange old-fashioned will and secrets buried beneath the civilization of the human fringes, this case becomes far more personal than another dead body.
The Body in the Zero Gee Brothel is the first Ptolemy Lane Tale: a fast-moving SF crime story blending hardboiled detective fiction, far-future worldbuilding, dark humor and a lawman old enough to know that humanity is rarely what it first appears to be.

Praise for Cameron’s Science Fiction:
I am in awe of the writing ability and imagination of Cameron Cooper.
Before reading any of this author's work, I would have stated I did not really like science fiction. THAT has changed.
Brilliant and intricate.
Twists and turns so you’re never really sure what is going on behind the scenes.
