"Rushmore McKenzie was a detective with the St. Paul, Minnesota PD until unlikely events made him first a millionaire and then a retiree. Since then, he's been an occasional unofficial private investigator-looking into things for friends and friends of friends-until his most recent case put him into a coma and nearly into a coffin. Now, at the insistence of his better half Nina Truhler, he is again retired. That is, until a friend of Nina finds herself in dire straits and in desperate need of a favor. Jenness Crawford's grandmother owned the family castle-a nineteenth century castle that has been operating as a hotel and resort for over a hundred years. Since her grandmother's death, the heirs have been squabbling over what to do with it. Some want to keep it in the family and continue running as a hotel. Some want to sell it and reap the millions a developer will pay for it. And Jenness is convinced that someone-probably in the latter group-killed her grandmother."--
