Tyler Matthews and his team must defend Allura Pacheco—registered courtesan, JPT dispatcher and friend to Rosalie Matthews—who is charged with murdering a diplomat on the Portuguese-speaking planet Segerius.

The Patrick Henry crew dives deep undercover to expose a Dark Market slave auction linked to the crime.
