Publisher's summary

The small resort town of Pine Cove has its little secrets. And one very dangerous one. It takes Patrol Lieutenant JG Intelligence Analyst Vaun Di Ai to discover the dangerous one. It would. In The Secrets of Valsummer House, sequel to The Secret of the Tzarista Moon, we once more return to the Nine Star Nebula of The Bright Black Sea in a new mystery adventure featuring Patrol Lieutenant Vaun Di Ai and the spaceer, Rafe d’Mere. Rafe d’Mere is still repairing Pine Cove’s toasters, bots, and appliances, when a possibly illegal robot arrives in a bugged crate, to be collected by an unidentified customer – eleven years after it was shipped. A few days later, a rather mysterious lady arrives in Pine Cove “on (undefined) business.” And between these arrivals, Intelligence Analyst 3, Lt Vaun Di Ai, turns up to tick off some boxes on the case forms, and follow up on a few leads in the Seven Syndicate case. She assures Rafe that she has strict orders to do nothing but boxes to tick or risk her career in the Patrol. In her own words, she’s merely an IA3 “on a field trip.” Nothing to worry about. But knowing her, of course he does. With good reason. This Nine Star Nebula Mystery Adventure is an old fashioned “whodunit” story. Together with old and new Pine Cove characters, Di Ai and d’Mere follow a tangled web of clues to discover just how the Seven Syndicate came to own the long lost weapons armory of the mercenary company once known as Bright Dark Solutions. And, maybe, just maybe, discover who is the boss of the Seven Syndicate. C. Litka writes old fashioned stories with modern sensibilities, humor, and romance. He spins tales of adventure, mystery, and travel set in richly imagined worlds, with casts of colorful, fully realized characters. If you seek to escape your everyday life, you will not find better company, nor more wonderful worlds to travel and explore, than in the stories of C. Litka.
