Jim doesn’t understand what kind of problems “good old Charlie Baylock, the friendly bait salesman” might have. Soon enough, Jim learns. Three years ago, Charlie was a low echelon executive for an oil conglomerate, en route to a broken marriage and alcoholism – a different man. More by reflex than by plan, Charlie found a safe containing cash and pushed it out the window. Later, sober and terrified, Charlie put the money in a safety deposit box and quit his job to become a bait salesman. Now the statute of limitations has expired and Charlie wants to return the money. Jim agrees to help, and that pits him against kidnapping mobsters and obnoxious policemen – in particular, Lieutenant Dan Hall, who with a bit of legal chicanery just might link Jim to the original crime!

Jim’s friend Angel has dropped out of sight – it’s been three months since Jim saw him. Then he has lunch with his wiseguy friend David, and David says something strange: that Angel died. Shocked, Jim asks when and David tells him, “Tomorrow. Wednesday at the latest.” So Jim goes to Angel’s place and finds out Angel has moved to a penthouse in the Sunset Arms Apartments! Sure enough, there’s Angel in new, fancy clothes and at a new, fancy address. Jim digs, and learns Angel is sixty percent owner of the Indianhead River Land Development Company. More digging and a run-in with a mobster only reveal more questions. Who told Angel that some fertile land is dry and useless, and why? Why is an insurance man talking as though Angel were already dead? And how does it all fit together? Before long, Jim finds himself sought in connection with a murder – if he can’t puzzle this one out, Angel will die and Jim will end up back in the box!

Beth frees Jim on a technicality, where he runs afoul of two thugs also interested in Sorvino.

Jim gets invited to Angel’s wedding – a hour and a half before it occurs. Angel marries a lovely Armenian girl, Regine, but this is the first her family knows about the marriage. It’s not the first they’ve heard of Angel. He and his partner Eddie were running a con on the Boyajians, pretending to represent a company interested in purchasing their land in an arrangement that cost them thousands in phony fees. 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. To do that, he feigns interest in the property figuring that might draw the killer’s attention. And it does...

Then Jim drops in on Marcy and someone cold cocks him, and he learns that his old buddy really came out to get a line on some missing art for an insurance company.

Jim lets acquaintance “Sky Aquarian” use his telephone and his mailing address as a favor. That might be a bad idea, because a couple of thugs come looking for her. Jim tracks Sky to an ashram and then to Gordon Borchert’s consciousness collective before he finds her, and learns that one of her bosses gave her a package to deliver, and that she forgot to deliver it. Jim insists she show him the envelope, and when he opens it, he discovers $30,000 in cash. The next day, Jim sends the envelope back to Sky’s boss – but later learns what he mailed was newspaper clippings! Jim evades goons, discovers Skye can’t keep her mouth shut, and returns to Gordon’s collective to get the real money back, only to discover that Gordon has skipped to India...
