The Case of the Victoria Cove Murders

Ex cops Quince and his father are in dire need of a change of scenery. Together they go on an adventure to Port Antonio, Jamaica to find peace, beauty and an enthusiasm for a life they were afraid they had lost. Soon they are forced back into police work after they encounter murders more violent and diabolical than any that they came up against on the mean city streets of New York.

Quince McCool and his dad come from a long line of proud cops ever since their forefathers emigrated to New York in the late 1840s after Ireland's Great Famine. Burnout left Quince in dire need of a change and Bridgette's sudden death left his dad a widower. Together they go on an adventure to Port Antonio, Jamaica to find peace, beauty and an enthusiasm for a life they were afraid they had lost. They put away their guns and open The Rest Easy Detective Agency, specializing in finding and helping runaways and strays. Soon they are forced back into police work after they encounter murders more violent and diabolical than any that they came up against on the mean city streets of New York.

Malachi and Desdemona Quill live in a tiny stone gate house in the middle of a New England village. Their only companion is their goldfish Lorelei because she's respectful of their need for peace and because she's such a lovely color orange. By choice they don't have many friends, choosing instead to immerse themselves in the made- up characters from their imaginations.
