Boss agrees to what should be a cakewalk: a pro bono case in Seattle. A security guard had been killed after work at a convenience store. Two or three days ought to do it, Boss thinks. But the trail leads soon to ORC, Organized Retail Crime. Faced with a brutal ring of thieves and a cop who may be bad, Boss is also forbidden to carry a gun. Or anything seen as a weapon. He turns to allies, old and new...and the world of alternative "toys."
