Short on work and long on bills, Fine needs a case and fast. It arrives in the form of a knock-out dame named Martha Dawes. She wants Fine to investigate the missing funds from her fathers will, believing her younger half-brother has left town and taken the cash with him. Fine agrees to help and plunges into a crime that takes several twists and turns, involving some of Montreals politicians.
When Marthas brother turns up dead and theres no sign of the money, however, Fine realizes theres more to this case then mere embezzlement. He uncovers a slew of illegal dealings with some of the seediest underworld characters hes ever imagined. Worse, Marthas husband, Jerry, is somehow involved. This isnt exactly what Fine signed up for.
Even so, he keeps diggingbut what he finds just might make him wish Martha Dawes had never walked through his office door.
