A Wink and a Nod

Tom "Trav" McGee is an 80 year old retired journalist called upon by an old colleague to help her find, or have declared dead, her long missing husband. It's an insurance issue. If he's dead, it has be official before she can collect. It's a cold case for cops. Against his better instincts, McGee agrees to help. It puts him on a circuitous path that leads to an international illicit opioid operation. He's 80! What in the world is he doing in the middle of all of this? That's what he wants to know.
