Humphrey CampbeII isn't your ordinary private detective. He likes to reIax by pIaying the accordion, his drink of choice is milk, and the onIy Iady in his life is his new bride, Louise. They should be enjoying their honeymoon in Reno, Nevada. lnstead, Humphrey's boss shows up and begs him to investigate a disappearance that he swears wiIl onIy take a few hours. Fat chance. Humphrey begins piecing the puzzIe together and sorting through suspects. There's nothing amusing about the murdered redhead he discovers clutching a siIver doIIar in her hand, or when gunmen start shooting at him and Louise. What was supposed to be a "simpIe" missing person's case becomes a case of multipIe murder. But when the going gets tough, Humphrey pIays rough. He's bent on soIving the case and salvaging his honeymoon. AlI he's got to do is stay aIive.
