An intricate story

This has a fairly involved story. The Enterprise is hosting an alien delegation and the Federation negotiating team. The aliens have a complex honour system that results in some very amusing misunderstandings. The Federation team includes a spy attempting to sabotage the negotiations, and the alien delegation has another spy simply attempting to wipe them out, with little concern for the Enterprise crew. Essentially this is a murder mystery with a diplomatic subplot. The characters are very strong, well described and vividly written, although only one of the Enterprise regulars, Admiral Kirk, is a major character in the story. One problem I can see is that the character interaction gets so intricate that it might not appeal to people preferring more straightforward presentation. Also, the author's language is fairly intricate in itself. Finally, it is definitely written for a mature audience.
