When seventy-five-year-old multi-millionaire land owner Ramsay Marshall turns up dead in Lake Tahoe, his daughter Sophia suspects foul play. Sophia contacts Palmer Doyle. Palmer is a recently widowed, disabled Afghan War vet turned private investigator. He is hoping to retire soon, get out of the rat race, move to the mountains, when Sophia and her cancer-stricken father-in-law, show up at his office and ask him to investigate the death.
Sophia and Palmer have history together. Fifteen years ago, when Master Sergeant Palmer Doyle is seriously injured in a bomb explosion, Sophia is part of the U.S. Army medical team that nurses him back to health. At the time they were both married, but both are single now.
With his oddball staff of investigators, who have their own phobias, personal quirks, and agendas, Palmer sets out to uncover what really happened. Did the old rich guy die of natural causes? Or was foul play involved?
Set in the East Bay of San Francisco Bay area, Doyle, an old school guy, must navigate the crazy, non-sensical, often hilarious happenings, that occur in modern day life in California.
But people in the novel are not who they appear to be; plot twists keep the reader guessing until the final pages. And, what happened to one family decades ago, during World War 2, may hold the answer as to why certain injustices can never be forgotten, or forgiven, and that exacting revenge is often the best remedy.
This is Grumpy Old Man, a psychological thriller, a murder mystery, a love story, and a satire on the craziness of present-day pandemic life in the SF East Bay Area of California.”
