More DescriptionWhen he receives a check for five million dollars in the mail, with an attached note telling him to meet a fellow lawyer––Robert Steinglass––the next day for an explanation, over-sized attorney Winston Barquist III, is more than a little intrigued. However, when he arrives the next day for the meeting, he discovers that Steinglass is dead. Not one to accept unearned money, Winston jumps into detective mode to track down Robert’s killer and learn why he was sent such a large check. Soon he finds himself embroiled with a wild melange of characters from Middle Eastern terrorists to a crazy Ukranian widow to a headstrong marijuana farmer. Someone among these individuals, thinks Winston, killed Robert. Winston follows every lead that he can until he suddenly finds himself in a hospital bed suffering from––of all things––polonium poisoning. In one of those rare situations where being overweight actually saves a person’s life, Winston realizes that his girth has helped him survive the radioactive element in his system. But, Winston may not be the only victim. Soon, he discovers other victims of the lethal poison and some of them are DEAD BUT STILL TICKING.
