A hot-shot defense attorney takes the case and hires Elvis to find proof that the L. A. detective rumored to be dirty fooled around with the evidence. But as Elvis investigates, he becomes more suspicious of the media-loving lawyer than the cops. "Indigo Slam" When a 15-year-old girl shows up to plead with Elvis to find her errant father, his first impulse is to hand the case over to Social Services. But he sees how hard the kid is working to keep her two siblings together and afloat.
