His injuries from the car accident didn’t kill but something in his blood did. In an attempt to reach his next of kin, we discover that his sister is popular ZNN reporter Trisha Hutton. Coincidentally her apartment is ransacked and she hasn’t been seen in a few days. Trisha’s dear friend, Charlie Bascom, whom was a father figure to her, recently died and she was the executor.

Little did she know the money was in plane sight, Charlie used the money to buy limited first edition books that were clearly displayed in the bookshelves.
