Leonid McGill has a reputation as a man who can get things done, so 92-year-old Mississippi bluesman Phillip "Catfish" Worry asks him to deliver a letter revealing the black lineage of a wealthy heiress and her corrupt father. But in this sixth outing (after And Sometimes I Wonder About You), when an assassin puts a hit on Catfish, Leonid has no choice but to confront his own felonious past. Working to protect his client and his own family, Leonid leads a group of young investigators to reach the heiress on the eve of her wedding, before someone kills to protect her family's secret.
