Our Fathers Summary
|
Terry Eason, a man with a career crisis, is spending some time at his girlfriend's beach cottage. Walking on the beach, he meets Matt Carlsberg, a man who asks many questions, but reveals little of himself. Several days later, Terry finds him, stabbed to death. Harry Chervenic, a detective who has seen too much of the nasty side of life, leads the investigation. He is assisted by Mickie Wilder - young, ambitious, eager to learn from Harry's experience. They find that Matt had left home eighteen years ago, had never kept in touch, and had only recently returned. Robert, Matt's brother, tells them that he believes Matt had made a living smuggling guns to trouble spots around the world. From Robert's ex-wife they learn that their father had been murdered just before Matt had left. She also reveals that Robert held a long-standing grudge against Matt. Just before his death, Matt had made out a will, as if he knew what would happen, leaving large sums to his brother and sister. A note accompanying the will invites his nephew and nieces, along with Terry Eason, on a sort of treasure hunt. It is presented as a challenge, the prize unspecified. Chervenic soon learns that to discover who killed Matt, he must first find out why he was killed. The hunt for the killer, the hunt for the prize, and the eighteen year old murder all draw together to lead to the killer's identity. |

| When Matt Carlsberg is found dead in a cottage on Connor Beach, the police must find not only who killed him, but why. The investigation is conducted by Harry Chervenic, a detective with too much experience, and his sometime partner Mickie Wilder, young and ambitious. They find Matt's older brother, who still remembers an old grudge, and his sister, whose lover is the family attorney. They learn of the murder, years earlier, of the victim's father, and of Matt's leaving home shortly after. A cab driver gives them clues to Matt's mysterious financial dealings, and a former lover tells of his past. Complicating the case is a note left for Matt's nephew and nieces inviting them to join in a sort of treasure hunt, the prize unspecified. While investigating the murder, Harry is forced to deal with ghosts from his own past. The hunt for the killer, the hunt for the prize, and the twenty-two year old murder all draw together to lead to the final climax.
