Features lawyer Leo Roi, Esq. Investigative Attorney, criminal investigator in Evanston, the wealthy, somewhat stodgy, suburb-cum-university town just north of Chicago. The very blandness of the background makes the horror of the crime even worse. There is a double murder of an attractive coed and an eccentric old professor, known as the Pie Man because of his monumental weakness for sweets. From the beginning, the complications of the case...including a pistol-whipping administered by assailants unknown...show Roi that he's involved in a crime far more than routine. For one thing, the Pie Man was a renowned numismatist; he'd been connected with one of the most famous coin collections in the whole world and they're missing. Roi investigates.
