A hilarious, high-stakes Thomas Prescott thriller filled with blackmail, buried secrets, and one very long night beneath the bright lights of Chicago.
Thomas Prescott has one job while visiting Chicago: don't lose his sister's dog.
Then Baxter crawls into the backpack of J.J. Watkins, an old friend from The Afrikaans who now performs stand-up at a local comedy club.
Turns out, J.J. has a problem of his own.
Someone has been blackmailing him over a private show for a group of Chicago commodities brokers. And now that someone has Baxter.
To get him back, Thomas and J.J. will have to follow the blackmailer's increasingly dangerous demands across Chicago, from packed comedy clubs to the industrial backstreets of Goose Island to a mysterious boat waiting on the dark waters of Lake Michigan.
But the deeper Thomas digs, the more one thing becomes clear:
J.J. is hiding something. And it's a lot worse than Thomas imagined.
Genre: Mystery
