As he sits front row center for the Columbus Symphony Orchestra's opening night concert, overweight and underpaid attorney, Winston Barchrist III, is shocked as its new Russian Maestro is shot during the finale of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture-the one where real cannons boom at the end. The pro bono defense of his best friend in the homicide of a Belgian body builder during the Arnold Schwarzenegger Fitness Classic, will now no longer be the only case on Winston's mind. Powerful people in the community, including the Symphony Board Chairman, begin exerting pressure on him, as the Maestro's daughter hires him to find out who shot her father. The two matters become more and more intertwined as Winston investigates, bringing him dangerously close to some dark corporate secrets and too many seemingly unrelated coincidences to ignore. After reading three autopsy reports and observing two of the autopsies himself, Winston is certain the capers in which he's involved are not only about MUSCLES and MUSIC, but also about MURDER."

Over-sized attorney Winston Barquist III is more than a little intriguedwhen he receives a check for five million dollars in the mail, with an attached note telling him to meet a fellow lawyer Robert Steinglass the next day for an explanation. However, when he arrives the next day for the meeting, he discovers that Robert is dead. Not one to accept unearned money, Winston jumps into detective mode to track down Robert's killer and learn why he was sent such a large check. Soon he finds himself embroiled with a wild melange of characters, from Middle Eastern terrorists to a crazy Ukranian widow to a headstrong marijuana farmer. Someone among these individuals killed Robert. Winston follows every lead that he can until he suddenly finds himself in a hospital bed suffering from polonium poisoning. In one of those rare situations where being overweight actually saves a person's life, Winston realizes that his girth has helped him survive the radioactive element in his system. But Winston may not be the only victim. He soon discovers other victims of the lethal poison and some of them are DEAD BUT STILL TICKING.

Winston Barquist III, a former big time corporate attorney who narrowly escaped disbarment, is now a 300 pound, moped-riding lawyer, turning his life around with a new girlfriend and a re-invented career as a sole practitioner in a flea-bag office above a Dairy Mart. Mostly, his cases consist of defending small-time hoods and negotiating simple divorces, but his life takes an abrupt new direction when a svelte society matron parks her Mercedes at his front door and hires him to investigate a large fund in which she and her business-mogul husband are both trustees. Doesn't sound too dangerous--that is, until bullets start flying and our intrepid hero finds himself in the middle of one DEADLY AUDIT.
