Thanks to a trio of masked thugs in a dark downtown Albany alley hes purchased a one-way ticket to the Pearly Gates-that is until he feels his floating spirit painfully pulled back into his bruised but breathing body. And thats when the real trouble starts. A private detective with a short-term memory problem due to a wayward self-inflicted slug Moonlight knows hes still in danger. Now he just needs to know why. And hes got plenty of enemies to keep him guessing-the Albany police the local mob even the latest love of his life Lola cant be trusted. Only his Vietnam-vet best friend Georgie is on the level. But it seems the goons who tried to take him out have bigger fish to fry-chiefly Moonlights latest client Peter Czech a handicapped nuclear engineer with a mysterious Russian heritage. Czech had something-a box-the gang believes is now in Moonlights possession and theyre willing to get it any deadly way they can. Problem is Moonlight doesnt recall Czech giving him any box-of course that doesnt mean he doesnt have it. He just better figure out where it is before he winds up dead for the last time.
