His protagonist Moe Prager is New York private investigator. In the book Moe and his wife are invited to a high society wedding where Moe is recruited to the cause of a state senator whose political rise was cut short by the mysterious disappearance of a young intern. Coleman goes on to discuss his love of poetry and his previous career driving hazardous materials. He also talks about some figures whom he finds inspirational, such as, Dominick Dunne, Dashiell Hammett, and Raymond Chandler. Later Coleman discusses his writing process and reads aloud from his book.
