Following the successful conclusion of their first case, the problematic pair found themselves involved in more unlikely adventures - as well as an unlikely affair of the heart. What now? A quiet walk in the cemetery leads to an encounter with a frantic escaped prisoner who begs Alex to prove his innocence. Nan and Alex's nubile grandniece Dani join in the Perilous Pursuits of the bad guys, but it's Alex who must ultimately brave a watery grave. In Golden Retrievals, a historic buried treasure becomes an intriguing case for Alex and Nan. All is happily resolved until one dark and stormy night when an unlikely miscreant makes his move at the Rayburn mansion.
