When he found his neighbor dead and nobody believing it was murder, he realized that he would have to solve the mystery himself, even though he was not able to get around very well. Little did he know how big the mystery was and how close he would come to being the next victim. The author has lived a long life and seen many changes among his friends. Living a life alone he spends time reminiscing about the joys of the past and about the challenges of the future.
