Leyland Denton must discover the cause of suspicious deaths among heirs of the ten million dollar Norton estate. Do fatalities on both sides of the lawsuit arise from the bitter family feud? And what's the Al Capone connection? To what lengths will Wisconsin Attorney General Richard Elkin go, now that he's running for governor, to hide he is Capone's grandson and that his sister's alzheimers might really be Big Al's syphilis?

Denton is assisted by his aged Uncle, known as Bobcat Bill, and by ex-marine sergeant Charlotte Logan, and Afa Tavita, a one-armed Samoan ex-wrestler. Arrayed against them are Elkin and his sex-pevert associate, Alan Sanger. Worse, they also face tomahawk wielding Spirit Warriors. Then there's beautiful Lilly Deerfoot, and her uncle John Batiste, both members of a secret Indian society.

Denton leads the reader on a fast-paced adventure through Southern California and Northern Wisconsin.
