George Rhodes wants to be a private eye detective, which the worst possible thing he could want. He finds himself in the middle of a high-stakes game of chess that leads him into an entanglement in a dangerous romantic relationship and puts him at odds with the local powers that be. Set in Kansas City, this story follows Rhodes through the darkest criminal corners, from the richest mansions to the poorest, most squalid apartments and back alleys, to the marbled halls of government.
