Rick Moreno styled himself as a skip tracer. He worked out of Houston Texas during the turbulent years of the cold war and although his job description would seem to limit his activities to chasing after bail jumpers, dead beat dads and such, his talents led him far afield into a world of political intrigue, international espionage and global politics. Ripped from the pages of history, The Case Of The Very Hot Car is presented here as recorded in Rick Moreno's Case Books, those personal diaries in which he outlined the details of his professional activities.His set of logbooks provide a glimpse into an often secret, always shadowy world inhabited by people in our government who feel it is their right to bend the rules as long as the desired outcome fits in with their idea of what is good for the rest of us.Rick Moreno is paid to ask questions but are the answers worth dying for?
