Harry Touchstone is nothing but a small-town detective who works mostly on insurance cases for local companies. Then, his friend dies, and Harry's life turns upside-down.

He makes a string of odd allies as he fights to stay alive, including a transvestite, a hacker, and the matriarch of Chinatown. He also makes a lot of enemies, but he can't nail down their identities.

Advance Praise
