Jacob Troy was an old man who had it all; a movie-star wife, a vast and thriving business empire—even a castle he'd bought in Germany and had transplanted brick-by-brick onto some of Hollywood's primest real estate. But he wanted more. That's why he had hired mobster Danny Hester to put the squeeze on nightclub owner Paul Huntsman.
Huntsman hired Larry Kent to find a connection between Troy and Hester that would stand up in a court of law. If he could expose Troy, then he could ruin him.
Almost before Larry took the case, however, things moved fast. A case of kidnap, a sadistic beating, a neat little frame-up and a grisly murder, just for starters.
What should have been a straightforward assignment soon found Larry Kent fighting for his life.
