Dallas, Texas, March 2007; the Dallas heat is still months away, and apparently, so is Pegasus Investigation's next big client. That explains why the agency jumps at the chance to find singer Charlie Ray Nothing's guitar. It's the kind of case a small detective agency should take. It's too trivial for the police to be interested, but important enough for Charlie Ray to pay the agency. Of course, it isn't the guitar that he actually wants found, but as The Great Detective often says, "A case is a case, and a client is a client." When the prime suspect is found shot to death on his front porch, it becomes clear that this is no ordinary case or client. As the body count rises, it quickly changes from a small case to a large personal issue. Finally, it becomes a battle for survival.
