In Book 2 of the Detective Lt Jeff Chandler Mysteries, we find Detective Lt Jeff Chandler called the scene of a crime. He is dispatched to a robbery at a small sandwich shop in Los Angeles. He and his robbery detective husband, Mickey Stanton, find a young man has been shot in the back, lying dead on the floor.

While Detective Lt Chandler and his coworker Sgt Burke investigate the murder, Detective Stanton tries to rule out his usual robbery suspects.
What Detective Lt Chandler stumbles upon is a blackmailer and a secret he discovered that could ruin a high-profile celebrity.
It all adds up to a brutal slaying of a young man who aspired to become an actor.
As Detective Lt Chandler unravels the mystery, he yearns for one of several suspects to offer him that sliver of truth that will lead him to solving the crime.
