4/12: First actual good one. Dolphin cop finds himself in galactic conspiracy theory investigating the death of the one alien preventing an intergalactic spaceport from being built. He trades his silence with the doctor/murderer by having him surgically remove a perma-pager in his ear.

3/12: The murderer alien killed his father-in-law for sleeping with his second wife and then locked himself in a closet to kill himself. Every cop is fine with letting him kill himself instead of arresting him because they were told to cover the case up by an implied direct call from the president.

Legit was gonna read one after work today and a few more on the road trip tomorrow.

2/12: The robots were called "Big Waldos" and the murderer was a hackerman who hated "wetware", a term he made up for humans

1/12: The aliens had "true faces" they hated showing but when forced to show them they all looked identical to the victim
