Eric Southerland awoke in a pool of blood on a houseboat after a party hosted by his boss. He was soon identified as a person of interest in the possible murder of Maury Crouse and as an accomplice in a fraudulent investment scheme. His only allies, persons who believed him innocent, were his father and a poker buddy. Fortunately for Eric, the poker buddy was Teddy Sergeant, a world class private investigator. Teddy and his entourage soon set out to clear Eric of all wrongdoing and return billions to the investors bilked in a Ponzi scheme.

This sequel to Drawing Dead showcases the many talents of Teddy, Fiona Rourke and both new and old friends as they search for the elusive Maury Crouse.
