When Eddie winds up beaten to death, Angel figures the Boyajians killed him, and rushes to marry Regine to turn their wrath. But the timing is wrong – the murder occurred before the Boyajians learned they had been conned. So someone else killed Eddie. Worse, Angel dropped Jim’s name during the con, so now both men face bunko charges, and maybe murder charges. Jim’s only choice is to figure out who killed Eddie and why.

Jim follows Molin to the Beverly Sherwin Hotel where he collects Rosner.
