In Something Wicked , Rushmore McKenzie, who promised to retire after his last nearly-fatal case, gets talked into doing an old friend a favor involving a castle, a family fighting over an inheritance, and at least one mysterious death.
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 straights 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 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.
A conclusion with which the police do not agree.
Now McKenzie finds himself back in action, trapped in a castle filled with feuding relatives with conflicting agendas, long serving retainers, and a possible murderer.
And if McKenzie makes one wrong move, it could be lights out.
