<DIV>The Blind Pig opens as a cop kills an armed intruder and two hit men shoot a jukebox. It would seem an open-and-shut case, but the deceased turns out to have been a hit man for the mob, and Mul finds himself smack in the middle of a gun-running plot. Meanwhile, a "delicious kumquat" of a woman is using her own brand of ammo on Mulheisen in the after-hours world of Detroit jazz, and Mulheisen has figured out that the shootings revolve around a young man who'd struck it rich in trucking--and then everything explodes when someone pulls off a million-dollar heist. The take? Sleek, beautiful guns--enough to start a war.</div>
