Jackson Peale is a former lawyer. Ran into some trouble a few years ago. Booze. Drugs. Lost his license. Works as a private detective now. But after waking up in a strange Charleston motel, he'd not been enthusiastic about finding a guy named Khalil. But the client was a mysterious woman who looked like a Kardashian with black hair pulled back in a ponytail, sunglasses, and a tight, tan dress that fit all of her curves. He knew he shouldn't take the assignment from Staci Turner. But he did. Next thing you know, he'd being accused of murder. No, it wasn't a good day for Peale.
