Name Games: A James P. Dandy Elderhostel Mystery [Paperback]

Peter E. Abresch (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 22, 2008

....James P. Dandy and Dodee Swisher are reunited again on a hiking and whitewater rafting Elderhostel(r) in North Carolina. Jim's not too crazy about either the hiking in the woods or the whitewater rafting, but Dodee is really up for it, and he is really up for Dodee in their continuing love affair. ....Plus there's an added bonus. ....Considering Dodee's proclivity for turning up bodies and getting in into hassles with the coppers, he welcomes the idea as a respite from past troubles. ....After all, how many killers lurk about in the woods for passersby to bump off? And who ever heard of a drive-by shooting from a rubber raft? ....But think again, Jim Dandy, and tighten your personal floatation device, for you're in for a wild ride. ....Elderhostels(r) are learning adventures for those mellowing into fine wine.
