Cranky, fun

When retired police detectives are asked to investigate a mystery at the Chicago Museum of Natural History involving a missing gorilla exhibit called Bushman, they were less than enthusiastic to take on the case. A combination of boredom and the prospects of more police work in the future, persuaded them to accept. But that didn’t mean they were happy about it.

They believed with their combined experiences, figuring out what had happened to the missing exhibit would be a piece of cake. As the case starts to unfold, the group of detectives (or the Old Farts Squad as they began calling themselves) quickly finds out that they may have bitten off more than they could chew.

With a mixture of humor, history, and horror, Robert W. Walker has crafted a fun, fast-paced story, blending several genres that’ll hold your attention all the way to the end.
