Product Description
With the Jedi all but wiped out in the grim aftermath of Order 66, the Empireโs power seems unchecked. But one lone Knight continues to fight the good fightโagainst all odds and when all else fails.
Deep in the bowels of Coruscant, Jedi Jax Pavan ekes out a living as a private investigator, a go-to, can-do guy for the downtrodden. Now a mysterious Zeltron knockout named Deejah approaches Jax with a case that needs to be cracked: to find out who killed her artist lover Volette, brutally murdered hours after his triumphant unveiling of a dazzling new light sculpture with obvious links to lightsaber pyrotechnics.
Finding Voletteโs killer wonโt be easyโtoo many secrets, too many suspects, and all kinds of motives. But with the droid I-5YQโs help, and ex-reporter Den Dhurโs excellent snooping skills, the investigation is soon operating like a well-oiled machine.
Unfortunately, thereโs a far more efficient machine hunting Jax. Itโs a deadly game of cat-and-mouse as the clock starts ticking toward the final explosive showdown . . . to see who strikes first and who will die first.
