Amos Walker is hired
by Helen and Dante Gunner, a bohemian Ann Arbor couple, to find

into a cupboard, a bullet through his head. When Dante is arrested
for the murder, Walker finds himself again in Helen's employ.
Walker interviews Holly
Zacharias, a college student who was the last person to see Marcus
alive. But, if Marcus is dead, and Dante is his killer, then
who is shooting at Walker and Holly? |
