The Green Bottle — Stuart M. Kaminsky

Rockford is looking forward to a quiet day of lazing around the beach and evading the debt collectors. Last month's bills were covered by a generous fee from a wealthy client for finding an antique green bottle, and an eccentric old lady with a sob story about a lost cat is handing him a big check to cover his expenses for next month.

But Rockford's luck may run out when he is visited by the Pulp Fiction look-alikes who want to rearrange his anatomy. And then he's going to find out that the case of the green bottle wasn't quite as simple as it looked.
