Barnaby Moss and Arnie Kotkin have been friends since their boyhood days of schoolyard fights and choirboy impersonations. it was not long before Arnie's upscale condo in the Belle Harbor section of Lawton, New York had a second occupant. everything from attempted murder to the real thing.

Arnie's natural parents after the brutal slaying of their elderly neighbor, and the reluctant sleuths have one more deadly puzzle to piece together.
