When attorney Tavenaar, a partner in an influential law firm in Century City, California, asks a two man detective agency to run a small errand for him, one of the detectives, an ex cop, wants to turn him down , as not doing that kind of trivial work. The other member of the small firm, a retired movie production man, takes the job, saying he knew the man and wondered what he was up to. The pair spend the rest of the story trying to discover this as they become involved in searching for an heir to an immense fortune, in a Beverly Hills murder. a guided tour of the Navajo Nation,, a visit to the Big Sur area of California and involvement in a major catastrophe there, followed by a trip to the Chicago Museum of Science and Engineering where deadly events begin for them.
