Private investigator Bill Quinn is looking for answers.

Can he locate in a week an ex-con who stands to inherit $100,000? Is his client with the name of a Big Band singer from the 1940s who she says she is? Did the ex-con swindle the mob for a half million? Why is a mob hit team in town with Quinn in their sights? Why does the name of a sleazy local lawyer keep popping up in the middle of Quinn's investigation? And can Quinn identify the killer of a local guy who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time?

Quinn learns that murder, deception, and betrayal haunt the characters of The Stalking Horse.
