Writer D. H. Mercer becomes so absorbed in his own material that his hard‑boiled private‑eye creation, Biff Deegan, appears to him as an incessant hallucination. Determined to replace Biff with a more civilized detective, Mercer is pulled into an actual mystery involving art fraud, murder and a beautiful woman in peril.
