Flint must enforce the law-giving the children to aliens, solving the murders, and arresting the woman for running from the legal system. Miles Flint grapples with three cases that have collided: a stolen space-yacht filled with dead bodies, two kidnapped human children, and a human woman on the run to avoid alien prosecution, trying to become one of the Disappeared. But alien laws often seem senseless, and minor violations draw outrageous punishments-from death to the loss of a first-born child. Humans and aliens have formed a loose government called the Earth Alliance, with treaties that guarantee humans are subject to alien laws when on alien soil. Whose rules does Detective Miles Flint live by? "…one of the top science fiction sagas in recent years." The first four novellas introduce each title character-Butterfly, a wistful would-be ballerina who longs for a loving family Crystal, a budding, brilliant scientist whose new adoptive mother has a fragile grasp on reality Brooke, a tomboy smothered by her new family's expectations and torn by the abandonment of her birth mother and Raven, removed from an abusive and negligent mother only to find herself living with her even more dangerous relatives-and details how her life's tragedies ended with coming to the orphanage, while a final full-length novel, Runaways, recounts the girls' adventures together when they escape the orphanage. The plot revolves around four young girls who meet in an Orphanage of Fear. Andrews, but written entirely by the ghostwriter who had previously written sequels to several of Andrews's novels.
