Mariksa Masekova and Dave Lewis are back!! Following on from DARK TIMES, this time the pair are investigating hit-and-runs during which children are killed. The cops believe they are a series of unfortunate accidents, but Dave and Mariska believe they are murders and they set out to prove it, using their newly formed Private Detective Agency, which is proving to be very difficult to turn into a profitable venture. Mariska is still a red-headed beauty, Dave is the same irrascible, bad tempered, instinctive animal he always was, and Mariska falling for the charms of the upper-class Edward Darke doesn't brighten his mood, especially when she moves out of their joint home and into an apartment he owns. And all the time the ghost of Chrissie Holland follows Dave around as he tries his best to find her a place in Heaven, where she can be happy.
