Out of money and with his tab being called due he stumbles into helping find an abducted child. Realising he could make some money as an unofficial consulting detective he takes up a new profession and hires one of his chess fans to do the work which requires leaving the hotel. Arkady continues to work with Pippa Venturi, his late fiance's sister, to solve the murder of Rosemary Venturi, his fiance, and her old friend Greg Lamont. (texto oficial do distribuidor)
