Mike and Molly are married on Christmas Day in 1967, but upon leaving the Reno chapel a stray bullet strikes Molly in the head. As desperate weeks and months pass with Molly in a coma, Mike cannot go south to find the shooter. Sanity forces him to take on a routine insurance fraud case, reported stolen jewelry by a mysterious redhead. Her connections throw Mike into the world of international drug cartels, ice pick murders, and even an apparition in Tonopah, Arizona, where Mike searches for a missing FBI secretary, also a redhead. The two redheads couldn't be more different and Mike struggles to find boundaries between Platonic friendship, seduction, and fidelity to Molly. The case also involves Mike interviewing a dismemberment killer on Nevada's death row in Carson City, and falling into Latino gang dangers in Sacramento. #9 in the series of stand alone mysteries.
