'Welcome to the Peace Force!

'Would you work for a deranged robot? Harriet Walsh does!

'It's her first day on the job, and Peace Force trainee Harriet Walsh is given a pretend case to solve. It's not like she can take on a real case, because Dismolle is a peaceful planet and there's absolutely no crime.

'That's about to change, though, because Harriet's unearthed some real, live suspects. Now she just has to find out what kind of crime they're committing!

'Unfortunately, Harriet's weapon won't fire without the right paperwork, the patrol car keeps asking her out, and her crime-fighting computer is so basic it doesn't have solitaire.

'No wonder some call it the Peace Farce!'

'The Peace Force has a new recruit, and she's driving everyone crazy. From disobeying orders to handling unauthorised cases, nothing is off-limits.

'Worse, Harriet Walsh is forced to team up with the newbie, because the recruit's shady past has just caught up with her.

'Meanwhile, a dignitary wants to complain about rogue officers working out of the station. She insists on meeting the station's commanding officer ... and they don't have one.

'All up, it's another typical day in the Peace Force!'

'Planet Dismolle is supposed to be a peaceful haven. So what's with all the gunfire?

'A criminal gang has moved into Chirless, Dismolle's second major city. Elderly residents are fed up with the loud music, noisy cars and late night parties, not to mention hold-ups, muggings and the occasional gunfight.

'Chirless has no Peace Force, so Harriet Walsh of the Dismolle City branch has to help out. That puts her up against a gang of hardened criminals with only her training pistol and a few old allies to lend a hand.

'And these allies aren't just old, they're positively ancient!'

'First a dead body shows up on Harriet's favourite beach.

'Then she discovers the whole place is going to be bulldozed for an apartment complex.

'Now, Harriet must untangle a web of lies and corruption to reach the truth.

'Meanwhile, someone has decided that the best way to avoid discovery is to silence Harriet for good...'
