Edgar Award - winning mystery writer Shubin pens a highly unusual suspense tale featuring retired Detective Jack Lehman, who finds himself drawn back to work after 15 years to investigate a half-million-dollar heist. The only problem is that no one really believes the heist actually occurred, and Lehman's friends and family doubt he is operating with all his faculties. Surely a crime of that magnitude would be reported somewhere. Worse yet, Lehman can't remember the name of his telephone informant, nor, for that matter, the name of the victim.This is an unusual novel seen through the eyes of a purported Alzheimer's victim, an exciting mystery/suspense story operating on at least two levels: as a psychological thriller and at the same time, one that provides insight into the problems facing an older adult.
