The Skip Authority

Matt Geers

Every skip leaves a trace. So does a killer. Humanity conquered distance with the skip. The Central Authority made sure no one could use it without permission. Senior Skipper Griffin Fews has spent his career enforcing those rules. When he's paired with junior skipper MJ Catebury, he expects another assignment aboard a transport vessel, not a hunt for a killer. Then bodies begin turning up at the ship's ports of call. Different worlds. Different victims. No obvious connection. Except the ship. Someone aboard is using the vast distances between stops as the perfect cover, killing during shore leave and disappearing back among the passengers and crew before anyone realizes the murders are connected. Griffin and MJ must find the killer before the next stop becomes another crime scene. But the deeper they dig, the more disturbing the pattern becomes, and the closer they get to someone who has been learning how to kill for a very long time. In a civilization where almost anyone can cross millions of miles in an instant, catching a murderer isn't about figuring out where they went. It's figuring out who came with you. SKIP AUTHORITY is a fast-paced science-fiction murder thriller about a serial killer hiding in plain sight, and the two Skippers who may be the only people standing between her and the next victim.
