When movie stuntman, Charlie Cougar took a temporary job as a process server to pay the bills, he never expected to be the prime suspect in a murder. After he discovers the body of Karen Cooley, sister of a missing mobster, Cougar asks old friend, Sam Light to help investigate so he can get on with his life. The case is filled with faded Hollywood figures, hidden millions and a determined killer who cleverly conceals his tracks.

To complicate matters, Cougar has just met the woman of his dreams. Sue Tallfeather, a Native American like himself, is a tender soul who accepts Cougar and all his shortcomings. But, as the murder investigation intensifies, danger lurks around every dark corner. Can the killer be caught befor someone - like Cougar, himself - is murdered?
