Death of the Insured

'Isn't it just my rotten lousy luck. If you know you've only got a short time to live, at least you should be able to live it up in the time that's left to you.'

Detective agency owner Bill Croll is given a terminal diagnosis - and also gets a new case to investigate.

Julia Heston's husband left their house six days ago, but hasn't been seen since.

Can Bill - who's also in dire financial straits - help to track him down?
