A Fannish Squee for Kit Kerr

deborahjrossKatharine Kerr is perhaps best known for her "Deverry" fantasy series, but I first discovered her as a science fiction writer. Polar City Blues, Freeze Frames, and Palace (written with Mark Kreighbaum) are some of the best, and sadly often overlooked. They've got all the juicy stuff I love and they're not only rich in ideas, they're emotionally intelligent as well without being in the least mushy. They're all out of print, which is a terrible loss.
Now Kit has reissued Polar City Blues as an ebook from Book View Cafe.
An alien spy turns up dead in Hagar, capital city of The Republic, a pitiful handful of worlds stuck between the powerful Interstellar Confederation and the huge Coreward Alliance. Police Chief Al Bates needs to solve the murder fast before the political ramifications destabilize the precarious balance between the three. Unfortunately for him, the one person who can help him plays by her own rules: Bobbie Lacey, one of the infamous information brokers who exist on the margins of his authority.
