Even more shocking, Zack actually knows who the victim is-and who might want him dead. With a killer roaming around their neighborhood and Zack's overactive imagination in overdrive, he's sure things can't get any worse. But then another local is murdered-and Zack's paranoid tendencies get him implicated in the crime. While his wife is trying to remember why she married him in the first place, and his kids are considering whether it's time to have him committed, Zack decides there's only one thing he can do. To protect his family-and avoid being busted for a crime he didn't commit-he's going to have to override his safety-first instincts, tap into his delusions of machismo, and track down the killer himself.
