Paloma by Kristine Kathryn Rusch
4.0
Rusch, Kristine Kathryn. Paloma. Retrieval Artist No. 5. Roc, 2006.
The woman calling herself Paloma is for Miles Flint the ideal retrieval artist. She seems to him to navigate the complex morality of human-alien interaction better than anyone. When she is murdered, Miles must investigate what turns out to be a legal and ethical morass that could get him killed by a very efficient bioengineered assassin. More noir stuff on the Moon that offers a very wry twist on Dashiell Hammett. I like it.
