The Adventure of Faxman and the Cut Toe Gang

Three friends stumble across a map hidden in the ceiling of a van purchased at an impound lot sale. A lawyer has tried several times to buy the van from them and it is later broken into and the map is discovered while the police are making their report. The sleuthing by Erika McKonica quickly raises suspicions on the purpose of the map and sets in motion a series of events that put the trio squarely in front of a disappeared drug leader, an ex navy seal who has waited patiently for a payoff, and an attorney who has participated in insurance fraud and is about to close the loop on an estate and distribute money to his purportedly deceased client's family,

THE CRIME FIGHTING TRIO RISKS ALL TO BRING THE DEAD BACK TO LIFE! Arnie Jensen and friends inadvertently stumble across a scheme concocted by a small time attorney to fraudulently collect life insurance proceeds. The trio discover a map hidden in a van purchased at an impound auction sale. But unusual interest in the vehicle by an unsuccessful bidder at the sale piques their interest. Their suspicions puts them squarely in front of a missing drug dealer who does not want to be found, an ex-navy seal who has patiently waited for a large payoff, and an attorney who has kept the two parties at bay and wants no one to learn of his role in facilitation of insurance fraud. There is only one problem though. Arnie and friends now have a map of the locations where a fortune is sequestered and are about to venture out to retrieve it. They suspect an elaborate plan to defraud an insurance company. Arnie must again use his powers to travel across the communication network via fax machines to uncover the fraud, locate the alleged disappeared and collect a reward for the discovery of the scheme. Will the trio be able to navigate the world of drug dealers, international trade and those who wish to remain missing? To find out the answers, you'll have to read The Adventure of Faxman and the Cut Toe Gang!
