After he discovers the body of Karen Cooley, sister of a missing mobster, Cougar asks old friend, Sam Light to help investigate so he can get on with his life. The case is filled with faded Hollywood figures, hidden millions and a determined killer who cleverly conceals his tracks.

But, as the murder investigation intensifies, danger lurks around every dark corner. Can the killer be caught befor someone--like Cougar, himself--is murdered?
