Dex Parios ist Chefin und einzige Angestellte des Detektivbüros »Stumptown Investigations« in einer der, sagen wir, wenig gentrifizierten Gegenden von Portland. Als Schnüfflerin ist Dex ein As, beim Würfeln eher nicht. Seit ihrem letzten Besuch am Spieltisch ist sie mehr als pleite – sie schuldet dem Casino schlappe 18 Mille. Glücksspielmatriarchin Sue-Lynne wäre aber bereit, auf das Geld zu verzichten, wenn Dex ihre Enkelin zurückbringt kann, die spurlos verschwunden ist. Bedeutet das, dass Dex‘ Blatt sich wendet, oder wurde ihr eine noch miesere Hand ausgeteilt? Magnum kann in Rente bleiben! Dex Parios steckt jeden sprücheklopfenden Privatdetektiv locker in die Tasche, und Bestseller-Autor Greg Rucka beweist einmal mehr, dass toughe Frauen in realistischen Szenarien genau sein Metier sind. Kein Wunder, dass »Stumptown« inzwischen auch als TV-Serie mit Cobie Smulders (»Avengers«) in der Hauptrolle verfilmt wurde.

Dex Parios hat »Stumptown Investigations« ein nagelneues Büro gegönnt, und sie kommt kaum dazu es einrichten vor lauter Klienten, die sie abweisen muss, weil ihr letzter Fall sie bei den falschen Leuten ziemlich unbeliebt gemacht hat. Als Mim Bracca von der Band »Tailhook« an die Tür klopft und mit ein paar fetten Scheinen winkt, kann Dex es daher kaum erwarten, sich auf die Suche nach der verlorenen Lieblingsgitarre des Rockstars zu machen. Zwei Dinge findet die Schnüfflerin jedoch schneller raus, als ihr lieb ist: Die Gitarre ist nicht das einzige, was verloren gegangen ist, und Dex ist nicht die einzige, die danach sucht. Magnum kann in Rente bleiben!
