When a security guard disappears with a priceless Martian meteorite belonging to the Chinese government, and surveillance tapes show a commando team of gray aliens making the snatch, a surly security chief turns to the only agency that might take him seriously: Clarke Lantham Investigations.
After turning down another alien-hunting case earlier this week, Clarke Lantham wants nothing more to do with kooks, cranks, and crooks of any kind. But with a lawsuit, an assistant, and a new ward all chewing through his finances, he needs the paycheck.
Racing spies, assassins, insurance agents, and the FBI, Lantham must find the wandering watchman--and the treasure that went with him--before the theft escalates into a diplomatic flash point between the world's fearsome superpowers and the alien overlords they allegedly support.
But even that might not bother Lantham...if he didn't have to sleep on the couch.
