Synopsis (Goodreads):
Captain Octavia Zarola needs an infusion of credits—fast—if she’s going to keep her close-knit bounty hunting crew paid and fed. Tracking down an escaped embezzler on a backwater planet should be a piece of cake, but bounties are rarely as easy as they seem.

As the crew closes in on their quarry, the hunt becomes entangled with a local criminal overlord, and Tavi will have to decide what’s more important: money or honor, and how much she’s willing to risk for either one.
Thoughts on Honor and Shadows: Well, hello there, Tavi and crew. The Valovian contingent might not be present (although this takes place directly before they join the crew), but Tavi, Kee, and Eli are the same old honorable bounty hunters we've come to know and love. Given the state of Tavi's finances, it says a lot that she's willing to do the right thing ahead of making a quick buck. But, then, that's Tavi for you.

A cold planet, a colder reception, and a plan put together on the fly have Tavi and the others pitting themselves against a man who thinks he's big stuff. To be fair, he is sort of big stuff on the planet, but Tavi's faced off against those who are bigger and badder than him. And she's determined enough to do the right thing and push through despite the odds against them.

A quick little story set right before Torran approaches Tavi with his offer. We get a good overview of Tavi's willingness to do the right thing and a hint at what's coming. *thumbs up*
