The Richard Splain Matter

When Johnny Dollar is sent to investigate a brutal scene of violence with no body, he finds himself unraveling the strange life—and death—of Richard Splain, a ship carpenter with a double life. As Johnny digs into Splain’s shadowy network of ship models stuffed with narcotics, he encounters frightened addicts, a desperate estranged wife, and a jealous boyfriend. But when the only witness turns up dead and a shocking confession emerges from an unexpected source, Johnny must separate lies from truth in a tangled web of revenge, addiction, and misplaced loyalty.
