A woman steps out of a limousine on the Upper East Side, her jewels glittering brightly, and the doorman looks her over. A few phone calls later, the heist is planned. Thieves descend on the woman's home, planning to swipe the jewels and depart silently. Instead the robbery turns violent. Mitch Laughton doesn't intend to solve a murder case, but he will find the stolen jewels. A professional investigator of stolen gems, he is hired by the victims' insurance company to recover the $6 million haul.

Carson's feud with a local crime reporter continues, and then suddenly the husband of his client is brutally murdered - a husband he's been hired to investigate. Mysterious characters weave a web of blackmail and suspense while leaving Carson with more clients than he can handle. The Memphis police have warned Carson to back off, but an employee of a friend is missing from a murder scene, and he's determined to find her and the killer.

When a potential client turns up dead in his Peabody Hotel room, Carson finds himself in the middle of a six-month-old armored truck robbery. Seemingly unconnected, his longtime friend Sheriff Leroy Epsee has been suspended from duty and is under investigation for the murder of a political opponent.

Carson has been hired by an insurance company to resolve a $1.5-million-dollar life insurance claim, but things get quickly complicated. Bodies appear, and it seems that these deaths might be connected to the missing hunter - but how? Facts reveal that the missing man’s job as an independent truck driver is linked to his disappearance, and perhaps to the mysterious murders. Carson’s investigation unearths some very unusual characters, along with a wife who appears to be interested in everything but finding her missing husband.

Kaum hatte sie Helen von einem merkwürdigen nächtlichen Pfeifgeräusch berichtet, stieß Julia in ihrem Schlafzimmer einen Schrei aus und taumelte benommen in den Flur. Mit den Worten "Es war das gesprenkelte Band" brach sie ohnmächtig zusammen, ohne je wieder zu sich zu kommen.
