Insurance Claims Can Be Murder

The coroner showed the envelope containing the bullet to everyone before handing it to Detective Hammond.
Hammond pointed to the body on the coroner’s table. “Well Terrell, there’s your suspect. Want me to read him his rights?”

Introducing a laid-back private detective, Jeff Terrell, and his lazy partner, Bud, as they take a routine case of checking out an insurance claim for a traffic accident, which puts them in the middle of a homicide investigation when their client ends up dead. With the help of an attractive receptionist, Naomi, the trio pursue leads looking for a missing husband and a homeless woman, hoping to find the murderer. Meanwhile, the killer is doing everything possible to make it impossible to find the missing people. As bullets fly and more bodies turn up, Jeff, Bud, and Naomi discover they have become targets as they stand in the way of the killer getting away with murder and a two-million-dollar payday.
