Bobby Callahan, a young man with a deformed face who had caught Kinsey Millhone's attention at the neighborhood gym, comes to him one day and tells him that, following the accident that left him amnesic and with the body left behind with scars, he is convinced that someone wants to kill him, even though he ignores why. The police had stood on their shoulders in the face of their fears and their wealthy family believes that it lacks a screw. But he is afraid, a mortal fear, and he asks Kinsey to help him and protect him. "There's little where to take this case," she thinks, but, as Bobby likes him, he's stubborn and he's dirty, he agrees to work for him. However, three days later, Bobby Callahan appears dead... for Kinsey Millhone, a deal is a deal, and he never leaves a case halfway. She was hired to prevent a murder; now it's her turn to look for the killer!
