She believes her it is her husband behind the murder and is framing her. She seeks out leather wearing, motorcycle riding private eye Vic Boone to uncover the truth and prove her innocence. But it won't be all that easy as the forces behind the crime have the means of controlling events.

Dex Parios is the proprietor of Stumptown Investigations, and a fairly talented P.I. Unfortunately, she's less adept at throwing dice than solving cases. Her recent streak has left her beyond broke - she's in to the Confederated Tribes of the Wind Coast for 18 large. But maybe Dex's luck is about to change. Sue-Lynne, head of the Wind Coast's casino operation, will clear Dex's debt if she can locate Sue-Lynne's missing granddaughter. But is this job Dex's way out of the hole or a shove down one much much deeper?
