About this listen
Private Investigator Steve Rockfish needs cash, like yesterday. The bad news is that yesterday, a global pandemic raged, and Maryland was headed toward a lockdown that would ultimately lead to cheating spouses no longer “working late”, and hence a lack of new clients.
Rockfish's luck changes when a Hollywood producer reaches out, but the job is two states away and involves digging up information on a child-trafficking ring from the 1940s. What he uncovers will be used to support the launch of a true-crime docuseries. He grabs a mask and hand sanitizer and heads for South Jersey.
Onsite, Rockfish meets Jawnie McGee, the great granddaughter of a local policeman gone missing while investigating the original crimes. As the duo uncovers more clues, they learn the same criminal alliance has reformed to use the pandemic as a conduit to defraud the federal government of that sweet, sweet stimulus money.
It's not long before the investigation turns up some key intel on a myriad of illicit activity over the last 80 years and Rockfish rockets toward a showdown with the mafia, local archdiocese, and dirty cops. COVID-19 isn't the only threat to his health.
