The player's shady brother-in-law (ironically, a used car salesman) has committed to a dangerous gangster that he has the player "in his pocket" and threatens to contact the commissioner if the owner does not go along with his scheme. In a physical confrontation, the much larger owner accidentally kills the other man, and the owner hides the body while directing his mentally challenged aide to dispose of the dead man's car after making up an excuse. Barnaby is hired by the now deceased man's wife -- who is the sister of the player who threw the game -- to try to locate her husband. Written by R.M. Sieger See less
