About Wrapt in crystal

On a planet of barren beauty, two religions--as different as sun and shadow, joy and grief--are bound together by death... A serial killer is stalking the priestesses of both sects--and Interfed Agent Cowen Drake must immerse himself in an unfamiliar world of stark spirituality to catch the killer. As world that will trap him between opulence and sacrifice, between desire and duty, and between two extraordinary women--one who could become the killer's ultimate victim... "A convincing view of human impulses toward both worldly and unworldly passions, with a touch of the otherworldly to bring it into the realm of science fiction." --*Locus* "Taut, realistic police work, an involving love story, and a fetching backdrop...well up to Shinn's previous high standards."--*Kirkus Reviews* This description comes from the publisher.
