Truman Pierce, private investigator in-training and janitor, is back. When Thelma Reilly, his beloved ninety-year-old landlord, is gunned down right in front of him during a break-in, Pierce takes matters into his own hands to track down the cold-blooded killer.

He wastes no time, teaming up with his associates, David and Goliath and Detectives Longhorn and Johns. But finding justice for Thelma proves harder than first imagined: Pierce is armed with only the killer's first name to go on.

How far, physical and mentally, will Truman go to unearth Thelma's killer? And how does a construction company and the disappearance of a young woman fit into the puzzle of Thelma's death?

Pierce won't rest until his personal vendetta ends with the killer in prison...or worse.
