“Allan Ansorge’s debut novel introduces an unlikely slate of characters with endearing quirks, suspicious pasts and a zest for adventure. His style keeps the twists, turns and bumps coming never disappointing the reader’s expectations of suspense. The ‘caper-esque’ tone has you winking and looking the other way as the new friends and loose ends are pulled together to win the day. Once you’ve met them you’ll clamor for more of these genuine good guys and gals!” –Luisa Buehler, The Inn Keeper

Someone is trying to kill Carl Fletcher, and for the life of him he can't figure out why.

After an apparent hit-and-run accident that cost the life of his fiancée, the full use of his right leg, and his career, Carl, the soon-to-be captain of a charter boat, is doing everything he can to move on. But someone has other plans for him and during one of his trips, someone makes another attempt on his life.

Michael McCaffery, Carl’s ex-partner in the Sheriff’s Department of Lake County, Wisconsin, is not happy to find that the department is doing little to find out who's hunting Carl. Michael with the help of Carl’s Internet-addicted mother (who's been known to carry a side arm in her shopping bag) set out to find out who wants Carl dead and stop them.

This group is joined by several volunteer sleuths who, between bouts of gun-fire and legal shenanigans discover, not only their quarry, but also a few budding romances.
