Mystery fiction. In the wild days of Leo Waterman's youth, Henry " Heck" Sundstrom was a god. But things haven't been going great lately for the PI's burly ex-hero. First came the honeymoon boating accident that killed Heck's son and new daughter-in-law, Allison. And now the big man himself is dying-struck down by a runaway truck at an ungodly hour in a section of Seattle where no decent citizen should be caught dead.
