Bobby Callahan was just 20 when a major accident remaining him disfigured forever. The doctors patched up his body however they couldn’t repair his mind.

Large chunks of his memory were lost but he knew somebody had attempted to wipe out him which the “accident” was deliberate. He understood he had the key to a thing that made him dangerous to the murderer but he didn’t know very well what. No one thought him… therefore he hired Kinsey Millhone.

Three times later Bobby was dead. But Kinsey by no means welshed on a deal. She’d been hired to stop a killing, now she’d find the killer instead.
