His day job consists of crafting interstellar travel permits, and off the clock, he's busy with not-so-secretly pining after his neighbor, Olivia. But when a murder scene featuring a portal briefcase as the only clue blasts him out of his comfortable and somewhat neurotic routine, Roger finds himself partnering with a detective whose personality is as rough as sandpaper and whose methods are as unconventional as Roger's are meticulous.
As they leap from one bizarre world to another, dodging the infamous Kobold's gang - a collection of the galaxy's most unwanted and notoriously bad-tempered alien thugs - Roger's quest to solve the murder turns into an interplanetary comedy of errors. Between keep his ties wrinkle-free, his romantic hopes alive, and his limbs attached to his body, Roger's adventure is about to take him far from the orderly life he loves, through the cosmic chaos he's always feared.
Join Roger, the gruff detective, Hort, and the ever-charming Olivia as they navigate the cosmos in a tale that combines murder, mystery, and a touch of romance with a whole lot of comedic missteps. Will Roger solve the murder and win Olivia's heart, or will the Kobold's gang turn his life into cosmic dust?
