Myra and Vic share a secret rendezvous for one last fling before she announces that she is going to run for Mayor. On his way back to Hub City Vic stops by the scene of a murder in Parson's Acres, a well-to-do suburb of Hub City. The m.o. matches that of Baby Gun, the obese murderer that tried to kill the Question by shooting him in the head with a small caliber gun. When another man dies Vic's investigation leads to Pete Carstairs, the man who developed Parson's Acres. The builder is a raving lunatic ranting about how the victims tried to blackmail him with threats of exposing the fact that the suburb is built on a toxic waste dump and of hiring Baby Gun to kill them. The blackmailers' allegations prove to be true. The Question returns to Carstairs' home to learn how Carstairs contacted Baby Gun. He finds Carstairs dead by rat poison and the obese and stupid Baby Gun pigging out on Carstairs' poisoned ice cream. Baby Gun soon joins his most recent victims in death.
