Cincinnati Cougars' Billy Parks was All-Pro and a hero to many...and now he’s missing. P.I. Harry Stoner's job is to find him, as hired by the Cougars who say Billy's disappearing act is part of a contract dispute. Leads in the form of Parks’ soon-to-be-cut teammate Bluerock and a pretty little number from a dance club point to some questionable influences in Parks’ life, including Cougars’ management, a reverend, agents, his mother, a pregnant stripper-turned-holly-roller girlfriend – and there seems to be something more much more deadly at hand that a contract renegotiation. 1986.
