Charlie Henry, former Special Forces operative and newly minted pawnbroker, thinks that hes finally turned a corner and the calm, quiet life hes always wanted is just ahead. But life never really works out that way. A young Navajo man comes into Charlies shop, FOB Pawn, claiming that his girlfriend mistakenly pawned a beautiful family heirloom, a turquoise necklace that she desperately needs back. When hes unable to produce any proof of this tale, Charlie is immediately suspicious and sticks by the golden pawnbroker rule No claim ticket, no exchange. Then the young man returns with reinforcements--and guns--making it abundantly clear that theres more to this story than a family treasure. This necklace quickly becomes the focus of a case where everyone lies, and every question seems to answer with gunfire.
