Description
Eddie Dancer returns for another escapade in this hard-edged and witty mystery. When Paul Menzies-an out of shape, middle-aged, advertising executive-is fired, he cannot imagine anything making his day worse. However, when he walks into an argument at an ATM machine that turns abusive, he ends up with massive injuries, a hospital bill, assault charges, and a $50,000 lawsuit.
