Clydesdale Moves to Essex Park - Paperback

by Bob Archman (Author)

No place could be safer than the wealthy, high-security, retirement community of Essex Park. Located on a former plantation in Virginia, the residents felt safe from all the problems of modern America. The residents of Essex Park were afflicted with declining memories as time took its toll, but oddly, inheritances seemed to be vanishing too. Redneck detective, Clydesdale, discovered a clever scam that could relieve the victims of their cash and use the victims' failing memories to avoid detection. There was a fox in the hen house. When the scam turned into murder, there was an oversupply of suspects. There was a closeted executive director, an owner with mob connections and a staff member with a taste for young, oriental, boy toys. Short, ugly, sharp-witted and horse-hung, Clydesdale had to use all his assets to get to the bottom of the complicated scheme involving fraud, murder and even prostitution.

Author Biography

Bob Archman is a retired man living in rural Virginia. He has liked mysteries ever since he got his first Hardy Boy's book in 1957. He also likes Agatha Christie's mature detectives, Hercule Poirot and Jane Marple. He is interested in relationships between mature, hard working men. He tends to write about men who are actively engaged in their jobs and life and happen to be gay, rather than gay men who happen to have a job. A friend of his once asked, "Why be gay and not like sex?" Most of the men in Bob Archman's novels know the answer to that question.
