Marlowe the Cat having a zen moment

I’m Yale Larsson, a private investigator who lives in a beach house on Longboat Key, Florida with my stalwart companion, Marlowe the Cat. I know what you’re thinking. How can a private investigator afford a home on Longboat Key? Well it wasn’t from the money I made while I was a homicide detective for the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office. That gig almost cost me my life when I got in the way of a bullet while investigating a brutal murder. I tendered my resignation after a skillful surgeon patched me up. I feel great except when the humidity skyrockets. Then my hip acts up. Such is life.

But every cloud has a silver lining. While recuperating in my apartment in South Sarasota, my lotto numbers came in and I won the biggest Powerball Drawing in Florida history. Yup, I won enough money to keep Marlowe the Cat and me in kibbles for the rest of our lives. I was also able to buy a cool beach house with a great view of the Gulf of Mexico. But boredom set in, so I got my private investigator’s license and created the Larsson Foundation, which my mom Inez administers. The Larsson Foundation helps the sick, elderly and needy.

Stay tuned to find out what happens after I get a phone call from Janet Brown, a Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office deputy and my old love.
