Buck Schatz is a retired Memphis cop and a World War II veteran. He doesn't understand computers, he's annoyed by his chatterbox grandson, and he doesn't like the prospect of moving into a nursing home when his memory begins to fail and his wife sustains a fall. He certainly doesn't expect to be following the trail of a murderer at the age of 87. But when a fellow veteran makes a deathbed confession, revealing a treasure trove of Nazi gold, Buck starts getting a lot of attention from people expecting the former detective to track down the gold and give them a share. And he really starts getting attention when the bodies of some of those people start piling up.
Don't Ever Get Old is the first in a new mystery series featuring the crochety, foul-mouthed, and very funny Buck Schatz. He turns his caustic narrative to both crime and the aging process, and manages to struggle through both despite it all. The second title in the series,
Don't Ever Look Back, came out earlier this summer. -
