Life can be a gamble and no one knows that more than Victor Grant, a private investigator in depression era San Francisco. Sometimes an opportunity comes along where the level of risk might be high but worth taking for the rewards that might come from it. And so it was, when a beautiful woman entered Vic’s office and needed help. Vic listened to her story and on the face of it, the assignment sounded simple, a missing person case, but he knew she was holding something back and lying. That wasn’t something new to him, most of his clients were prone to hiding something and lying.
