Star Trek: Deep Space Nine — I, the Constable<\/strong> by Paula M. Block and Terry J. Erdmann, published in 2017<\/p>\n

Quark heads to Feringinar because his uncle Frin has died — his uncle who owned a chain of 30 taverns. Meanwhile, Odo has been enjoying Mike Hammer novels that Chief O’Brien recommended. Now he’s writing a letter to Kira, who’s on a retreat. When Quark fails to return and no one has heard from him in days, Captain Ro asks Odo to investigate. The first thing Odo finds out is that Frin had 3 wives when he died.<\/p>\n

This is a short story released only as an ebook.<\/p>\n
