While investigating this claim, Private Investigator Archer encounters, drug smuggling, a dead body, several trips to a dive bar in LA’s Chinatown, meeting some of Hollywood’s elite and not so elite, an air trip to Las Vegas encountering the mob, and several threats to PI Archer’s life which includes being shot at and two big bonks on the head.
