Product Description:
With the Jedi all but wiped out in the grim aftermath of Order 66, the Empire’s power seems unchecked. But one lone Knight continues to fight the good fight–against all odds and when all else fails.
Deep in the bowels of Coruscant, Jedi Jax Pavan ekes out a living as a private investigator, a go-to, can-do guy for the downtrodden. Now a mysterious Zeltron knockout named Deejah approaches Jax with a case that needs to be cracked: to find out who killed her artist lover Volette, brutally murdered hours after his triumphant unveiling of a dazzling new light sculpture with obvious links to lightsaber pyrotechnics.
Finding Volette’s killer won’t be easy–too many secrets, too many suspects, and all kinds of motives. But with the droid I-5YQ’s help, and ex-reporter Den Dhur’s excellent snooping skills, the investigation is soon operating like a well-oiled machine.
Unfortunately, there’s a far more efficient machine hunting Jax. It’s a deadly game of cat-and-mouse as the clock starts ticking toward the final explosive showdown . . . to see who strikes first and who will die first.

The first and second books were excellent I can't wait for the third one to arrive in January.

Street of Shadows by Michael Reaves is the second book in the Coruscant Nights trilogy, set in the months after Order 66 changes the galaxy forever. It follows the continuing adventures of private investigator Jax Pavan and his oddly-assorted band of sidekicks. This trilogy is not as tightly interwoven as the usual Star Wars offerings: there are links and some sense of progression between the first two books but the main plotlines are almost completely independent of one another. The main arc that ... Read More

In short, this is a well-written book that helps to evolve the three-book series and develop the protagonists. But the story and some of the events leave the reader wanting.
I found the first book much more interesting, with a good amount of excitement through the well-written action sequences. The second book, however felt like reading a regular novel, but that WASN'T set in the Star Wars universe.
I'll have to wait and see how things turn out once the third, and final, ... Read More

This is a worthy sequel to the first book in the "Coruscant Nights" series, "Jedi Twilight". This time the life of Jedi on the run Jax Pavan is a bit closer to the back of the book blurb claim that he is a private investigator.
Actually he and his motley crew are working with Whiplash, the embryo of what will become the Rebel Alliance (and in one memorable scene there is a woman who may be Mon Mothma, the eventual leader of the alliance). They try to help a woman discover who killed her artist ... Read More

I'm really enjoying this series - this book is just as good as the first in the series - so keep reading! As I said in my review of "Jedi Twilight" I am just thrilled to see a whole new cast of characters in the Star Wars universe and I really am glad to see their further development in this book.
In this book you have the main core of characters really dealing with a few unrelated plot lines at the same time. In one plot line you have Jax Pavan and his comrades trying to solve a murder mystery ... Read More
