Return To Arcadia For A New Outlawed Colony Adventure!
A lone investigator finds himself in trouble up to his neck when he uncovers the murder of an old friend.
The illicit drug business followed man when he colonized new planets, creating deadly new drugs with new names like Love Potion.
Cosimo Bedingfeld's life has been filled with bad luck and trouble. As an undercover investigator for the HIVE, he's constantly hip deep in a pile of dung. When Cosimo is sent to investigate the murder of an ex-HIVE agent in the southern islands, he meets Abigail Trelawney, the 'Spider Girl' of Aranea plantation who raises Marabunta, giant wasp-spiders for their webs.
Despite his past mistakes, Cosimo has a chance at happiness, but will he take it? Follow Cosimo's adventures on the planet Arcadia as he battles the illicit drug business and discovers the truth behind the murder of an old friend.
If you enjoyed the sci-fi thriller film Gattaca, or The Andromeda Strain by Michael Crichton, you'll love this suspenseful, action-packed novel.

Person
Gail Daley is a self-taught artist and writer with a background in business. An omnivorous reader, she was inspired by her son, also a writer, to finish some of the incomplete novels she had begun over the years. She is heavily involved in local art groups and fills her time reading, writing, painting in acrylics, and spending time with her husband of 40 plus years. Currently her family is owned by two cats, a mischievous young cat called Mab (after the fairy queen of air and darkness) and a mellow Gray Princess named Moonstone. In the past, the family shared their home with many dogs, cats and a Guinea Pig, all of whom have passed over the rainbow bridge. A recent major surgery on her stomach and a bout with breast cancer has slowed her down a little, but she continues to write and paint.
