SYNOPSIS:
What do cops do when they retire?
In Paul Wagner’s new book Always A Cop, an old man reaches out to another old man for help locating a missing child. This leads to the assemblage of three senior citizens who have almost nothing in common except the badges they carried long ago as police detectives. Their leader is Beau Wolfer, an impoverished, over-sexed fitness freak battling chronic depression. He recruits his long-time partner “Finn” Fincannon, who is confined to an assisted living sanitarium with Alzheimer’s, and Matsuo Shimada, an inveterate golfer listless, bored, and forgetful. It’s an unlikely team to solve a crime in today’s world. Of course, a missing person case does not necessarily involve a crime. But when Beau discovers the savagely mutilated corpse of a young female, her murder is unquestionably a crime and police consider him a suspect.
Worse: it puts him on the hit list of the real killer - who might be a cop!
Other books by Wagner include: The Houseboat Murders, All Rise: The Criminal Trial of 4 Teens, Just One Mo, and The A-Club Mystery.
A graduate of Colorado State and South Denver High, former journalist and radio news reporter Wagner lives and writes in Sacramento, California.
