Until the kidnappings started, I never worked a job for free.
My charity work began one morning in the Undercroft, my cozy apartment-office beneath an establishment called the Coliseum. The Coliseum is a classy place where, on any given night, a dozen slaves murder each other for public amusement. Now you might think that flavor of recreation would limit the clientele of a humanitarian gumshoe. And you’d be correct. Murder Row typically attracts only the classiest sort of customer. And by classiest, I mean richest.
But my newest client was an anomaly.
