Two months ago, reporter Rick Hoffman was dining at the Four Seasons with the power elite of Boston. Now he's too poor to replace the light bulbs in his dad's old house. Rick - fired by his magazine, dumped by his fiancé, rejected by his society friends - is down to his last dime - until he discovers millions of dollars hidden in the walls of the attic. But how did it get there? And who else knows about it? Only one person could know the answer. Rick's father: a man who's been in a nursing home, speechless, for twenty years. Now Rick must bring his father's hidden past to light - before deadly enemies find a way to silence father and son for good.
