Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?

Bear's afternoon of beer and baseball is interrupted by a phone call from a former high school friend who is standing in a pool of his dead brother's blood. So begins the tale of a cold-blooded murder and the theft of a two million dollar dime! Faced with bi-coastal murder suspects, Pinky hands Bear and Flo the sweaty task of tracking down one of the suspects along the hot, humid North Carolina shoreline while he chooses to pursue the other on the Kona Coast of Hawaii. But Pinky, after imbibing too many Mai Tai's with a bevy of sky-goddesses, and facing a mandatory court appearance, is forced to return to Carson City, sans suspect. Bear and Flo hit pay dirt, and with the identity of the killer in-hand, they fly across the Pacific Ocean to the smoggy Beijing airport where they meet Joe, the uncle of Pinky's Chinese secretary. The enigmatic Joe quotes Confucius and Shakespeare as he purposefully guides the dynamic duo to their final destination—oxygen sparse Lhasa, Tibet.
