From Booklist:
Retired cop Miles Flint is now a Retrieval Artist--that is, someone who tracks down members of the Disappeared, a category of outlaws wanted for crimes against aliens. His first job is investigating the death of another Artist, who supposedly died of a viral infection. While he is doing that, a young woman dies during the moon's celebrated Extreme Marathon, a fine display of low-gravity sports. Her death is at first thought to be accidental, but it turns out to be a murder. Putting the two investigations together enters Flint in a race to stop a viral epidemic for which there is no known cure. Good all around, Rusch's third Retrieval Artist novel is an exemplary futuristic detective thriller that stands independent of The Disappeared [BKL Je 1 & 15 02] and Alien Influences (1997), but is likely to motivate readers to search out its predecessors.
