As a self-employed solutions broker and legal consultant, he works for a very select clientele. He doesn't advertise and only takes cases on referral. But when two people close to him are murdered, Dan's work becomes very personal.With the assistance of a newly hired female intern, extracting clues from a ladder of acquaintances, Dan bounds through both the underbelly and elite of society, each step bringing more questions and yet ultimately taking him closer to the answer he seeks. A bail bondsman, a recluse hacker, a court clerk, a university student, an old-school barber, a high-class madam, an intelligence officer, a medical doctor, and a police detective are among the list of people Dan must cajole for help.
