Eddie Perlmutter, a fifty-nine-year-old highly
decorated Boston cop, retired to Boca Raton,
hoping for some peace and quiet after more
than thirty years on the force. But before
he could even get a tan he busted Russian
mafia counterfeiters, unraveled the details
of a mysterious death in a gated community,
and saved damsels in distress from neo-Nazi
punks. A local newspaper reporter wrote
about Eddie’s exploits and nicknamed him
the “Boca Knight,” a man willing to fight
for everyone’s right to live in peace. Eddie
Perlmutter was a hero all over again.
A widower for more than twenty years,
Eddie becomes involved with two totally different
women, but once he hangs out his
P.I. shingle he has precious little time for
romance. Eddie’s one-man Boca Knights
Detective Agency has more cases than he can
handle: a haunted elevator, a double kidnapping,
an octogenarian bagel thief—and that’s
just for starters. Quack doctors have to be
busted; old hearts need fixing; scams must be
exposed. While standing up for the underdog,
Eddie doesn’t even have enough time to bend
over for a prostate exam.
On top of his P.I. work, he’s got some unfinished
business with one of the young neo-Nazi miscreants. He may have to fly halfway
across the world to see justice done, if he
isn’t cut down by Russian mafia bullets in
the gayborhood or run over on a Boca street
by a pint-size maniac in a
huge Cadillac.
Retirement has never been so un-retiring.
