Synopsis:

Inattention-and a sexy court stenographer named Madeleine-cost Deke Hunter his last case. This time the Massachusetts state trooper has something bigger: the Danvers National Bank job. Of the four who pulled off the robbery, only Teddy Donnelly isn't in irons. The key witness, Billy Gillis, is shaking in his boots in a safe house, and it looks to Deke like a case his dog could win by a directed verdict-only his dog's on vacation and he's stuck with Assistant D.A. Richard Shanley again. Then Deke starts worrying that Billy might lose his voice. And Madeleine's back in the picture, only this time Deke's boss thinks she's wired to the mob.
