Louis Vila, a twice-fired cop in Jacksonville, FL, finds the funeral card of a man who may or may not be dead inside the only suit he owns. The trouble is he doesn’t know the man or how the card got there.

 

His curiosity and a timely job offer from the Florida State Bureau of Investigation lead him into an investigation where suspects keep getting killed.

 

Along the way, Louis collects characters like velcro: a retired intelligence operative,  a mentally unstable heir, an Elvis-loving ex-con, and an innocent tag-along gardening genius, all who help him uncover the puppet master behind all the murders.
