Zachary Hunter’s client list ranges from Zoe Horowitz, a seemingly nice Jewish girl who hires him to find her fiancée, to a Russian Mafia crime boss who runs the mob from prison. Marissa Juliette Baristono, a beautiful, award- winning, interior designer, has been with him since the days when neither of them had anything. They share their lives with Owen, an Irish Wolf hound weighing something north of 150 pounds.
An elephant tusk, which has long been considered to be an urban legend, but which, if it actually existed, would command a fortune on the illicit art market because of the perfectly executed erotic carvings rumored to be covering it, suddenly surfaces. It is in the possession of a Mexican cartel, but it is stolen by one of the cartel’s own members, setting in motion a series of bizarre events. The thief cuts a separate deal with two rival mob bosses for the same tusk, virtually guaranteeing that whichever boss doesn’t get the tusk is going to come after him. He hires Hunter to get the tusk to one boss while persuading the other not to kill him. It’s a tough enough assignment without more, but it becomes even tougher when Hunter learns that not only does each of the mob bosses and the cartel want the tusk, but so does the Russian Mafia, the CIA, the FBI, and LAPD. When they enter the fray, it’s no holds barred, and anything could happen!
