When fifteen-year-old Teri Hewitt pleads with Elvis Cole to find the father who abandoned her and her two younger siblings, his first reaction is to turn the case over to the California social services. But when he sees that Teri has the lives and care of her little family well in hand, he decides to take the job, asking Joe Pike to help him keep an eye on the kids.
The missing dad, Clark Hewitt is an unemployed printer whose peronalhistory is hard to pin down; as Elvis investigates, the image of Hewitt that emerges indicated a chronically unemployed drug addict who slums through the criminal world, not a bona fide printer but a master counterfeiter. The clues soon send Elvis to Hewitt's home town, Seattle, where Elvis runs afoul of both the newly emerging Russian Mafia and U.S. Marshals as he discovers more about the elusive deadbeat dad.
Just as Joe Pike has just about had it with babysitting, the bad guys converge in a breathtaking chase at Disneyland, and the novel comes to its unbearable suspenseful climax.
