A despicable stock trader is found buried under an avalanche of his own garden rocks, causing fired-from-the-force Richard Sherlock to be yanked off the bowling alley and whisked to the crime scene by his pampered prot g e Tiffany Richmond. He must prove murder and stop payment of the twelve- million-dollar Richmond Insurance policy. Nothing makes sense. Crime scene is a mess. There is no money trail. There are too many motives from too many suspects who have too many alibis. Worst of all Sherlock's bad back is acting up, his ex-wife wants more money and his murder investigation is putting a serious dent in his parenting schedule of his two daughters.Richard Sherlock may be a reluctant dick, but he's better at finding the who in the whodunit than anyone else.
