It looks like a straightforward missing person case. It isn’t. Rick is asked to find a British Sailor AWOL in San Francisco. But the client is not who she claims to be, and neither is her ‘missing’ brother. As Rick works this case, Inga disappears with an alien-worshipping cult, possibly for good. She’s being pumped full of pseudo religious gobbledygook, L.S.D. and cool aid mixed with Heroin. Rick puts together a reckless gang of specialists, attempts a desperate rescue in deepest darkest Canada.
A plot with more twists than a Chubby Checker greatest hits album. Involving a screen-goddess, KGB operatives, car crashes, double-crosses and more lies than a party-political broadcast.
It’s Christmas time and with Inga languishing in a rehab clinic, Rick barely has time to get his feet up on his desk when a sultry dame slinks into his office. She drops a copy of The Chronicle on his desk, shows him the headline and says:
“Mister Marshall, as you can see, I’m dead. I want you to find out who killed me.”
There’s also news on the Hollywood celebrity front. Rick’s ex-squeeze, Carmen Costello, is heading to Vegas. She’s getting married…to Paddy Brady, Rick and Inga’s ex-employer and well-known gangster.
Once again Rick plunges into San Francisco’s seedy underworld. Where just doing the right thing becomes harder and harder. Who was the mysterious naked look-alike gunned down in a country club changing room? Who wants Paddy Brady dead? And how will Rick react to the insidious onslaught of Rock’n’roll?
A none too simple missing person case. A young red-haired girl disappears from under Rick’s nose at a waterfront charity event. Rick and Inga become embroiled in a political campaign and the criminal underworld. How will they tell the difference?
...And someone is taking pot-shots at a Jaguar dealership with connections to the ubiquitous Paddy Brady. Rick and Inga are hired to put a stop to the big game hunting.
San Francisco in the mid-fifties is a city going through major cultural changes, new music, new ideas, new attitudes. But there are still the same old problems for Rick & Inga. Who can they trust if they can’t trust each other?
