Jordan McKell is a freighter pilot who takes on the job of flying an unusual spaceship to Earth while trying to avoid detection by the Patth, keeping his mob boss happy, and solving a murder mystery. This book is a good mix of mystery, sci-fi, action, adventure and humor. Each chapter pulls you to the next.

This story mixes a bit of space smugglers (picture Han Solo) with a bit of Sherlock Holmes mystery and deduction.
gave up after 120 pages (a quarter), because it felt like reading cartoons: fast and full of shiny colors, but completely shallow and uninteresting. Just a too cool glitzy hero kicking alien ass with amazing wit and bravado.
Might have enjoyed it at 12-13 yo.
