    Early November, 1958, New York City 
     
    Art thief and smuggler Cantor Gold's latest underworld caper begins when she arrives at big-time bookie Nick Fortunato's apartment to celebrate his birthday, a ritual the two friends have enjoyed for years. But Nick is missing, and there's blood on the living room carpet. It's not Nick's blood, though. Nick's death still awaits him. Despite crime lord Sig Loreale's best plans to protect Nick, with whom Sig has financial dealings, a killer finds Nick hidden away in a cheap hotel owned by Loreale. 
     
    Among the players in this tale of friendship, betrayal, and the competition for power between the young and the aging, is the beautiful and possibly deadly Abbey O'Brien. She was Nick's right hand in his bookie operation, and now that he's dead, she stands to either gain big or lose even bigger. The operatives and bettors in Nick's bookmaking business have a stake in Nick's death, too . . . and motives to either solve his murder or get him out of the way. Assisting Cantor, as always, are her young Guy Friday Judson Zane; cabbie, sometime getaway driver, and sometime friend with benefits Rosie Bliss; and Cantor's criminal mentor Esther "Mom" Sheinbaum. And always circling are the cops.

    When searching through Conan Doyle's papers, Hesketh Pearson, a biographer of his, came across a plan for an unwritten story. As Richard Lancelyn Green notes, "there is no evidence to show that it is by [Conan Doyle] and strong internal evidence to suggest that it's not". Various authors have attempted to complete the story (named "The Adventure of the Tall Man" by Peter Haining) and put it alongside the canon. Some are very close to Doyle's plot, others including variations. However no 'official' completion has been made.

    She has no idea what she’s doing. Loose cannons never hit their targets. And they take out plenty of collateral damage. Four years ago Lindsay experienced the unspeakable right before me, and I couldn’t stop them. But that’s all changed now. When her father, Senator Bosworth, contacted me to ask — demand — that I protect her, it was a second chance. A shot at redemption. An opportunity to right an unspeakable wrong. Controlling Lindsay as she seeks her revenge on the monsters who hurt her won’t be hard. Containing my own out-of-control feelings for Lindsay and keeping up this ruse of cold-blooded distance will be. Even harder than admitting to her what really happened that night four years ago. It turns out I don’t have to, though. Someone else did it for me. And I’ll make sure they regret it.
