Adam-Troy Castro - Emissaries From The Dead (Andrea Cort #1) (epub)

Two murders have occurred on One One One, an artificial ecosystem
created by the universe's dominant AIs to house several engineered
species, including a violent, sentient race of sloth-like creatures.
Under order from the Diplomatic Corps, Counselor Andrea Cort has come to
this cylinder world where an indentured human community hangs suspended
high above a poisoned, acid atmosphere. Her assignment is to choose a
suitable homicide suspect from among those who have sold their futures
to escape existences even worse than this one. And no matter where the
trail leads her she must do nothing to implicate the hosts, who hold the
power to obliterate humankind in an instant.

But Andrea Cort is not about to hold back in her hunt for a killer. For
she has nothing to lose and harbors no love for her masters or fellow
indentures. And she herself has felt the terrible exhilaration of taking
life . . . .
