IT TAKES A SAVVY GANG OF SENIOR SLEUTHS TO SOLVE SOME CRIMES.Retired P.I. Bear Jacobs is a curmudgeon, but he hates injustice more than he hates being old. He has the time to help Washington State law enforcement tackle complex crimes. Bear, his case note-keeping sidekick Lily Gilbert, and the rest of his quirky gang of seniors stand tall on their canes, walkers and wheels. In Bear in Mind, the first of the PI Bear Jacobs series, Bear and Lily hunt for a missing wife. At first they think she's just a heart breaking bitch who abandons her hubby. But Bear soon learns that older women in the community are disappearing at an alarming rate. It appears a madman is murdering them, a la the Boston Strangler...but then men start to disappear. Are body parts being harvested? Is a local crematory burning up the evidence? It's a dangerous and twisted trail that Bear follows toward a surprising conclusion.
