William 'Big Bill' Mulholland is head of one of New York's wealthiest dynasties. When Mulholland gets wind of a hostile biography planned, he commissions his journalist son-in-law John Glass to pen the official line. To help with the job, Glass hires a beady-eyed researcher - 'the lemur'.



But the next day, the Lemur is found dead, shot through the eye with a Beretta. What is the secret he knew, had he told anyone else, and why are the police suddenly asking Glass a lot of questions?
