Publisher's summary

Chilling murder and intrigue abound as Rebel agents become detectives to solve a deadly mystery on the floating metropolis of Cloud City.

It started as a routine escort mission. Famed Alliance engineer Walex Blissex was contacted by an old friend who had made a startling scientific breakthrough. But when the Rebel escort team arrives on Cloud City to meet this mysterious scientist, things begin to go wrong. Dead Wrong.

Mystery leads to murder. Murder leads to deadly confrontations with killer droids and Imperial agents. And the Rebels wind up entangled in webs of deception, deceit—and death! The fate of the city in the cloud and everyone aboard depends on the Rebels and their ability to unravel the mystery before the knots pull tight!
