Mystery Police Procedural

Eighty-seven-year-old Buck Schatz is a very bored WWII vet/POW and retired Memphis cop who drives his wife crazy with his chain-smoking and cantankerous attitude. Then a fellow POW Buck spent time with calls him to his deathbed to reveal that one of the vicious SS officers who made their lives so miserable is living in the US. Buck really doesn't care until his friend informs him that the German smuggled out a fortune in gold when the war was ending. Wanting to get his hands on that gold and having nothing better to do, Buck enlists the help of his grandson, Tequila, since he can't drive after dark and he knows absolutely nothing about computers and using the Internet.

Buck soon finds out that they aren't the only ones looking for the treasure, and dead bodies are piling up fast around them. With a myriad of unsavory characters crawling out of the woodwork, Buck doesn't know who to trust. Even if his memory is failing a bit, Buck still has some smarts when it comes to savvy maneuvering. But will it be enough to save his and Tequila's lives?

This new mystery series is witty and quirky and will have you laughing out loud at Buck's antics. Can't wait for the next installment.

SUMMARY

This is the first in a one-of-a-kind, spectacularly well- written mystery series featuring Buck Schatz, an 87-year- old retired Memphis cop with a know-it-all plugged-in grandson as his sidekick. When Buck learns that an old adversary may have escaped Germany with a fortune in stolen gold, Buck decides to hunt down the fugitive and claim the loot. But lots of people want a piece of the stolen treasure, and Buck’s investigation quickly attracts unfriendly attention from a Mississippi loan shark, a seven-foot tall Hasidic Jew and a bloodthirsty maniac hell-bent on rubbing out everybody who knows anything about the stolen gold. This is sure to be a big hit with readers who love Elmore Leonard, Walter Mosley, early Jonathan Lethem and superlative detective fiction in general.
