Jason Wilder is just about to close up the private investi¬gation office owned by his mother, Victoria, when an elderly man enters. He says his name is Elijah Messenger and that someone is trying to kill him. Jason gives him a polite brush-oft but learns the next morning the old man has indeed been murdered. On top of that, he finds the mayor in his mother's office. His daughter has become involved with Elijah's "devil worshippers," and he wants her pried loose. Victoria turns the case over to Jason, but, as always, keeps a maternal eye.
The mixture of adventure and humor between Mom and her staff, makes this second book a delight from every angle.
