A hotheaded hacker must outwit the AI at the heart of a rogue warship-turned-penal colony if she and her crew of con women want to escape with their lives in this electrifying sci-fi thriller from the acclaimed author of Bonds of Brass.

Murdock has always believed in Hark, the woman who shaped her from a petty thief and lowlife hacker into a promising con artist. Hark is everything Murdock aspires to be, from her slick fashion sense to her unfailing ability to plan under pressure. Together with Bea, a fearless driver who never walks away from a bet, and Fitz, Murdock's infuriatingly mercurial rival who can sweet-talk the galaxy into spinning around her finger, they form a foursome with a reputation for daring heists, massive payoffs, and never, ever getting caught.
Well, until now.
Getting caught is one thing. Getting tithed to a sentient warship that's styled itself into a punitive god is a problem this team has never faced before. Aboard the Justice is a world stitched together from the galaxy's sinners--some fighting for survival, some struggling to build a civilized society, and some sacrificing everything to worship the AI at the heart of the ship.
The Justice's all-seeing eyes are fixed on its newest acquisitions, Murdock in particular. It has use for a hacker--if it can wrest her devotion away from Hark. And Murdock's faith is already fractured. To escape the Justice's madness, they need a plan, and Hark might not be up to the task.
If Hark--brilliant, unflappable Hark--can't plot a way out, Murdock will have to use every last trick she's learned to outwit the Justice, resist its temptation, and get her crew out alive.
