An eighteen year-old boy lies dying of leukemia. Kyle's only hope is a bone marrow transplant, but no one in his wealthy Virginia family can safely supply it. His last chance lies in finding his father, a man who disappeared before he was born. Police and private investigators can find nothing on a trail eighteen years cold.
Kyle's family have nowhere to turn until they learn of a certain troubleshooter - a self-styled knight errant in dark glasses, Hannibal Jones. Hannibal has two weeks to find the missing man, but his search turns up so much more. A woman who might be Kyle's illegitimate sister. The woman who could be her mother. And the chauffeur who may have killed Kyle's father.
Hannibal follows a twisting, winding path of deception, conspiracy and greed, from Washington to Mexico, pursuing his own holy grail: the truth. But with each step closer, the danger grows.
