From the back cover:
"Meet Miro Hetzel, Galactic Effectuator. He's part gentleman, part detective, part fraud, and his trail of exploits cuts through some of the more improbable civilizations in the universe. Join him in a trip to the planet Maz, whose natives are so fierce that they'll fight three battles before lunch and then dine on the enemy - a planet that only a man with Miro Hetzel's steely nerve would dare to visit at all. "
That's only a minor aspect of the scheming and puzzles in this book. And there are other tourists.

The two stories in this book feature Miro Hetzel, galactic effectuator, who takes interesting cases at extremely high fees. He can charge so much because he solves them and many seek his services. The first tale finds him searching to uncover the existence of and unknown company that is undercutting an entire industry. His search takes him to the planet, Maz, where its fierce residents fight battle after battle. Will Miro survive and discover the unknown company? In the second he is searching for man named Dr. Dacre, whose mysterious skill has harmed many others. As he investigates he finds numerous individuals who are missing body parts but continue to exist. It is up to Miro to discover why and where Dr. Dacre has gone. This author writes so well that I pick up one of his novels whenever I find them. So imaginative and well done.
