Mrs Rayellen Stutch, the young widow of one of Detroit's most powerful industrialists had a little job for the smart and cynical private eye Amos Walker. Wanting to unload part of her enormous inheritance on the illegitimate offspring of her late husband, she needed Walker to find them. And show them the money. It's a simple case...until Walker discovers the would-be millionaires are the textbook dysfunctional family. The battered wife is on the run, the abusive husband is packing a gun and the kid is caught in between. Walker couldn't expect what comes next: an act of horrifying violence that leaves a beautiful woman dead and a boy kidnapped. He must now lay siege to the sprawling fortress of the Stutch Motors factory. The stage is set for a bloody payoff, and trapped in the middle is a private eye who can remember when cars had fins and a city had a dream.
