Die Industriellen-Tochter Kelly Morgan interessiert sich für Okkultismus und Totenbeschwörung. Eines Tages ist sie wie vom Erdbeben verschluckt. Dass sie tatsächlich zum Gespenst geworden ist, mag natürlich niemand wirklich glauben. Am allerwenigsten Bount Reiniger, der Privatdetektiv. Ein geheimnisvoller Brief taucht auf und führt Bount Reinigers Spur nach Arizona. Seit einiger Zeit geschehen dort mysteriöse Morde, die alle einem finsteren Ritual zugrunde zu liegen scheinen.

Bount Reiniger, der in Fachkreisen als bester Privatermittler von New York gilt, ist auf der Suche nach Ted Hughes, einem dreisten Hacker, der gerade einen großen Konzern in erhebliche Schwierigkeiten gebracht hat. Ted Hughes hat Produktdaten für Raketenteile gehackt. Reiniger muss ihn finden und die wertvollen Daten sicherstellen.

Reiniger erkennt sofort, dass hier ein professioneller Auftragskiller am Werk war.
