A chance encounter with a homeless man at a freeway exit ramp jolts Bernie when he realizes the man is Rocket Saluka, a star from his high school baseball team. After Rocket vanishes, Chet and Bernie revisit Bernie's past, unearthing buried memories, old betrayals and a present day conspiracy that turns a nostalgic trip deadly.

A frightened young woman approaches Chet and Bernie in traffic, clearly desperate for help, then bolts before giving her name. Chet's nose picks up a secret about her that links to a slick political campaign, a missing body and a ferret whose devotion to Bernie complicates their usual two dog team.

Bernie hands an online heavy case to fellow PI Victor Klovsky, only for Victor to disappear just before Hanukkah. Hired by Victor's worried mother, Chet and Bernie follow a trail to a ruined desert mission, whispers of a lost art treasure and a Christmas Eve chase through a blizzard.

Amid the excitement Snoozy, the best fisherman in St Roch and the clerk at the Gaux store, disappears, pushing Birdie and Bowser to follow a trail that combines shark fever, greed and a very real human threat.
