Run-of-the-mill detective story.
When a prestigious Manhattan law firm hires a mom & pop detective agency to find a missing college student, the deal seems a little hinky, but Benji Golden and his mother let the size of the retainer gloss over any suspicions they may have.
As Benji tries to track down the student, he finds numerous things that don't add up. And then people begin dying.
The observant reader will pick up on the "whydunnit" fairly early on, though Handler manages to keep the "whodunnit" portion under wraps almost to the very end. (Hint -- it's not who you think it is.)
Entertaining read, but don't expect anything earth-shattering.
