Elvis Cole is caught up in a high-profile murder case - and between the cops and the lawyers, it's going to be a rough ride...

On his own turf in L.A., PI Elvis Cole is embroiled in a controversial, high-profile murder case.

A wealthy restaurateur is accused of murdering his wife, and his hot-shot defence lawyer hires Cole to find proof that the detective on the case, Angela Rossi, fooled around with the evidence. Yet as Elvis investigates Rossi for the defence team, he begins to be more suspicious of the media-loving lawyers than the cops.

And as the investigation continues, Cole is drawn deeper and deeper into the intrigue and dangers surrounding the case of the missing woman.
