His name was Parnell Perkins, and until shortly after midnight, he'd been a claims adjuster for California Fidelity. Then someone came along and put paid to that line of work. And to any other. Parnell Perkins had been shot at close range and left for dead in the parking lot outside California Fidelity's offices.

"G" is for guilt and guile, for greed and grief and the Grim Reaper. And "G" is for good: very, very good, indeed.
