Death in a Family Business: A Tommy Lovell mystery

The last thing Tommy Lovell expects is death in a family business. It's 1986, and Tommy's dream restaurant has failed, taking his shaky marriage along with it. Now he's licking his wounds back in his childhood bedroom, while he takes stock of his life at the end of his 20s. Reluctantly, Tommy agrees to tag along when his father offers to help his friend Otto Jonker save Otto's struggling appliance/TV store in a dying Berkshires town. Tommy is ready for a change of scenery, maybe a bit of romance, and--if he's lucky--a chance to fly his father's Cessna. But the trip takes a disastrous turn after Otto skids off the road during a midnight motorcycle ride and is critically injured, forcing Tommy and his father into unexpected danger as they make disturbing discoveries about Otto's personal and professional troubles.
