After disclosing that aging literary genius Addison James-also Sylvia’s dad and main client-has not in fact created his last two bestselling traditional sagas, Sylvia reveals her suspicions that Addison’s helper Tommy O’Brien-the accurate author-has run away with their latest manuscript and it is keeping it for ransom. Tempted by Sylvia’s give to bet a hefty advance for his novel-in-progress, Hoagy agrees to help unearth Tommy’s sudden disappearance.
