Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not Niven's best
Review: This book is a mystery story, set on the moon. A murder attempt is made, and a woman accused. Gil the ARM must prove her innocence before she ends up in the organ banks.

Though short, I found this story hard to credit. Though the science was well thought out (Niven's trademark), I did not think the characters acted believably. There was also too much gratuitous sex (Niven's other trademark) - the hero sleeps with the accused woman, his real girlfriend, and another woman he meets along the way.
