Jake celebrates by throwing a party in the mansion he was hired to look after. Unfortunately, the guest list gets out of hand, leaving Jake to contend with a hallucinogenic-vitamin-dispensing yogi, a dead guy in the bathroom, and The Norwegian - a criminal force of nature with a grudge against Jake. When the owner of the multimillion dollar crime-scene returns home prematurely, only Jake's inadvertent discovery of the man's business history in Mao Tse Thong underwear saves him from having to clean up after the party. But he still has to come clean with his ex-wife. The situation threatens to become an international incident when Nina's powerbroker uncle and two secret agents from China show up to turn the screws on Jake. Soon after that his friends start disappearing. With the Chinese government leaning on him and The Norwegian out to settle an old score, Jake comes up with a desperate plan to dupe a pair of secret agents, fund the uncle's secret venture, save his friends, and (why not?) solve the murder. 650 0 $a Real estate agents $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Extortion $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Drug dealers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Housesitting $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Murder $x Investigation $z Vancouver $z Vancouver $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Vancouver (B.C.) $v Fiction. 941 $a 2 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20190105010156.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20181221010244.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B0E6D4089A0711E8AE30EB3197128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
