A cross-country missing persons case takes Jerry Marlowe from New York and Peter Hawkins from Chicago into a world of magical costumes and flesh peddling evildoers, and it was only the start.
Join the intrepid P.I.'s on a trip of personal, as well as investigative discovery, aided by a constable from another plane of reality that has a pretty good idea what's what. In the process, for regular readers, get to know Ivana Sergeievna Modorina better that you may be comfortable with. Add in Joey V., former Chicago alderman, former male, now running and working in a strip club in Vegas, and Nikki Davison, CPA, ex robbery homicide cop, first met in "Liberty Shrugged" and it begins to get fascinating, to say the least.
Who? What? Where? When? Why?
Not just words for reporters to live by, they also serve as a credo for P.I.s. Four of them had been fairly easy. It was the fifth that was giving them trouble, and, in the process of solving the case, Pete Hawkins may figure out just who he is these days, too.
