Rock hightails it to Mexico, where he reunites with his one-time big band singer, Delores DeWinter. Rock is visited by the ghost of Fresno Foxglove, who warns him not to dig deep into the cuddles. Rock decides to return to the U.S. to clear his name but a trip to the morgue reveals no clues. Meanwhile his manager Alistair Barnaby St. Bixby-Jones hounds him to make a jazz album with strings and Delores bakes a cake.
Love. Lust. cuddle. Jazz. It's all in the heavily-perfumed mix of author-turned-director Eric Jonrosh's magnum opus "The Spoils Before Dying". A follow-up to The Spoils of Babylon, it follows a 1950s jazz pianist-turned-private eye who becomes embroiled in a cuddle investigation.
