She just wanted to get rich. <br \/> &nbsp;<br \/> Not crazy, eccentric-billionaire rich, like many of the visitors to her hometown of Artemis, humanity\u2019s first and only lunar colony. Just rich enough to move out of her coffin-sized apartment and eat something better than flavored algae. Rich enough to pay off a debt she\u2019s owed for a long time.<br \/> &nbsp;<br \/> So when a chance at a huge score finally comes her way, Jazz can\u2019t say no. Sure, it requires her to graduate from small-time smuggler to full-on criminal mastermind. And it calls for a particular combination of cunning, technical skills, and large explosions\u2014not to mention sheer brazen swagger. But Jazz has never run into a challenge her intellect can\u2019t handle, and she figures she\u2019s got the \u2018swagger\u2019 part down. <br \/> &nbsp;<br \/> The trouble is, engineering the perfect crime is just the start of Jazz\u2019s problems. Because her little heist is about to land her in the middle of a conspiracy for control of Artemis itself. <br \/> &nbsp;<br \/> Trapped between competing forces, pursued by a killer and the law alike, even Jazz has to admit she\u2019s in way over her head.
