A Classic Sci-Fi Detective Anthology of Organleggers, Psychic Powers, and Futuristic Mysteries

In the 22nd-century "Known Space" universe, Gil "The Arm" Hamilton serves as a top operative for the Amalgamated Regional Militia (ARM), policing organlegging—the illicit black-market harvesting of human organs. After losing his arm in an asteroid accident, Hamilton developed a invisible, telekinetic "phantom" arm capable of reaching through physical barriers.

This classic collection gathers three of Hamilton's most famous cases—"Death by Ecstasy," "ARM," and "THE PATCHWORK GIRL" premise novella—as he uses his telekinetic phantom arm and hardboiled detective instincts to solve impossible locked-room murders and corporate organ-smuggling cartels.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Hugo and Nebula Award-winner Larry Niven fuses golden-age sci-fi worldbuilding with classic hardboiled detective procedurals. Ideal for readers who enjoy Isaac Asimov's The Caves of Steel, Philip K. Dick, and sci-fi mystery mashups.

Pair this book with Peaches and Cream Oolong Tea

Craving the sun-drenched sweetness of summer peaches and cream, no matter the season? This delightful loose leaf tea captures that nostalgic flavor in every cup. Blended woodsy oolong and robust black tea to create the perfect, sturdy base for juicy, ripe peach notes laced with soft, creamy vanilla essence. Apple and apricot pieces add depth to the fruitiness, while golden calendula petals hint at the sunny disposition within. It's rich, comforting, and brews into a beautiful amber liquor. As the name suggests, it takes beautifully to a splash of milk and a touch of sugar for the full peaches-and-cream effect!
