Produktbeschreibung

Murder Mystery! Detective series! Crime-drama! And a little touch or two of romance, too. Homicide Detective Lyle Odell returns once again. However, this time, it is for his final case and adventure. In the twilight of his career, Homicide Detective Lyle Odell finds himself steering through the calm before the storm-a promotion to the elite rank of Police Inspector that feels more like a retirement sentence than an advancement, provides a strange uneasiness with the old detective. Odell's former elite team of police associates and friends have either retired or moved off to their own avenues with their careers and their lives. Odell's days have become monotonous, and he grapples with the ghosts of his past while resisting the temptations of old habits. "They put me out to pasture," he muses, but the detective, who now has some snow on the roof, but still has a fire in his belly, is ready to uncover the truth, no matter how well it's hidden. As he battles the familiar demons of sobriety and an unquenchable longing for purpose, an ignoble boredom soon gives way to urgency when a seemingly routine newspaper article catches his eye. The newspaper article details the sudden death of Randolph Burgess, the powerful CEO of the Standard Insurance Company, and the relocation of Standard Insurance Company to a new corporate facility and campus in Mohawk City, New York. That article sets off an investigation that spirals into a labyrinth of deceit and danger. With every clue he unearths, Odell plunges deeper into a world of corporate intrigue, blackmail, and murder that stretches from upstate New York to the busy streets of Boston, Massachusetts. But this is more than just a case; it's a quest that compels him to confront his own past and his future while navigating the complex dynamics of trust and betrayal in the pursuit of the truth. As the stakes rise and the culprits weave a tangled web, Odell unexpectedly finds companionship and warmth in the form of Doctor Eleanor Burgess, the beautiful, intelligent, and spirited acting CEO and half-sister of the deceased. Together, they spark a connection that breathes new life into Odell's long-worn heart, intertwining their fates as they race to uncover the truth behind the death of Randolph Burgess and the sinister purposes of a select few; determined to take over the company. By any means possible!

And then another gorgeous woman enters the picture and she takes a romantic interest in the cagey old detective, too! Join Detective Lyle Odell on his gripping final adventure, where threads of mystery intertwine with unexpected romances, and the shadows of his past collide with the bright glimmers of hope for the future. With its powerful themes of redemption, resilience, and the enduring human spirit, "Snow on the Roof" is a poignant farewell to a beloved character, crafted by the masterful Paul John Hausleben. As Odell rides off into the sunset, readers will be left reflecting on a legacy of truth, justice, and second chances.
