When the Cetagandan empress dies, Miles Vorkosigan and his cousin
Ivan are sent to Cetaganda for her funeral as diplomatic
representatives of Barrayar. Upon arrival, the two men are
inexplicably attacked by a servant of the late empress. When the
same servant turns up dead the next day, Miles and Ivan find
themselves in the middle of a mystery. Miles tries to play
detective in a strange, complicated, and deceptively alien culture,
while lascivious Ivan manages to get himself involved with several
noble females at the same time, a diplomatic no-no of the first
order. As the plot thickens, it becomes clear that it's up to Miles
to save the empire. With her usual skill, Bujold addresses timeless
issues of human identity through the personal dramas of her
characters.
