The deadbeat in the title is a guy, Alvin Limardo, who came to Kinsey one day to hire her to find a certa
in 15 years old boy and give him something. He paid in advance but the check bounced, so Kinsey is forced to go look for him and settle things through (as she says, one cannot afford this when working on one’s own as the word gets out fast). She only manages to find out a few basics about the guy (for starters that his name was actually John Daggett and he only recently got out of jail) — when the police find his body on the beach, dead, looking like an accident. Nevertheless Kinsey has a feeling there is more to the story and, when Daggett’s daughter hires her to find out more details, she starts following each possible thread, with all the skill and the patience we’ve come to know and love.
