John Hathaway just wanted a quiet weekend alone with his fiancée. Instead, he receives a cryptic postcard from a man he's never met, gets wrapped up in an elaborate art heist and finds himself framed for murder. And what's worse, his future in-laws are in town! The palette is certainly thickening here, and there might be only one person who can rally the muses in time to string it all together: the Master himself, Enescu Fleet, retired private eye.

The world is changing for John Hathaway, newlywed and occasional PI. He has a wife who is pushing to start a family, a best friend who is keeping a secret from him and a mentor who may soon be dropping the prefix on his semiretirement. Even the number of Maltese dogs in his life has doubled. Fortunately for Hath, there are some things that never change. Invited to a restaurant opening, he immediately lands in the midst of another zesty murder. Apparently, he's not the only one with a taste for the past. An old foe has emerged, and everyone will need to watch their backs.

The world's most celebrated semiretired detective is back, this time for some cards, cruising and criminal investigation. In his fourth adventure, Enescu Fleet encounters treachery on and off the high seas. Along the way, he raises the stakes with a little hidden treasure, and goes all in on a mystery that will plumb the depths of his past. The puzzle pieces keep piling up, and so do the corpses. Does the best in the game have what it takes-or could he end up a sunken Fleet?
