Imagine waking up in your son's home, not remembering anything from the day before, and being accused of murder. Cantankerous octogenarian Paul Jacobson struggles with short-term memory loss. As he ends up suspiciously close to a bank robbery, a kidnapping, and a drug bust, his granddaughter helps him track down the real perpetrators. Paul juggles two girlfriends and confronts a murderer in this second in the series.

Octogenarian Paul Jacobson, who suffers from short-term memory loss, discovers a body stuffed in the trash shoot of his retirement home. Jacobson's running narrative (he writes a journal to stay current with his present-day life) is both humorous and heartbreaking. --
