Care Homes Are Murder — Mike Befeler

DANGER IN PARADISE

Despite a run-in with the island's meanest drug lord, cranky octogenarian Paul Jacobson can't help but have fun on a family Christmas vacation in Hawaii. His smokin' seventy-something bride, Marion, is making up for his nonexistent short-term memory by helping him live in the moment. And Paul is even happy to visit contentious old friends at a nearby retirement home. Until he discovers a body in the kitchen -- and the drug lord's corpse feeding the fishes in the marina.

Suddenly, Paul is dodging several attempts on his life -- and dealing with suspicious cops who think this geezer looks good as a prime suspect. Now he and his brilliant granddaughter Jennifer must delve deep for the truth behind the attacks. Paul will need all of his gruff savvy to avoid lockdown in paradise…and out-surf the target on his back.
