DREAM MERCHANT: Jackson Stone, P. I.

A Dream Merchant: A magical, mythical, supernatural entity frequently beseeched through fervent requests, even prayers if you like, to make dreams and wishes come true.
PI, Jackson Stone's challenge, to attempt the humbling human role of a Dream Merchant, is daunting. Four desperate people are looking to Stone to solve their problems. The odds of failure: overwhelming.
Sam Sebastiano wants his long-lost friend found - “dead or alive.”
Detective Mike Wilkerson, from the BPD, wants Stone's help solving a six-year-old cold case.
Janice Johnson/Whitcomb wants Stone to find a treasured piece of memorabilia.
Kevin Summers, imprisoned at Atticas SuperMax, wants exoneration and freedom from a crime he didn't commit.
When Stone discovers the separate requests are all connected to Wilkerson's cold case, the race is on to catch a killer.
The Christmas season is sweeping into Buffalo, New York. This year, Santa Claus is coming to town . . . and his name is Jackson Stone.
