This is Chief Gooley's worst nightmare realized. The Lovely Angels are back at work, but this time the 3WA's Central Computer has assigned them two cases simultaneously: investigate a space liner explosion that killed three hundred people, yet no one has come forward to claim any insurance money; and find a missing scientist and his family. Could the two cases be connected? Only the Central Computer knows, and it is not talking. So it is up to the Dirty Pair to get down and dirty and solve the puzzle before time runs out for a grieving grandfather, his family, and the universe!
