Overview

A good detective has an analytic mind, loves to solve puzzles, is driven to know the answers - oh, and he might play piano.

Twenty-something Jake Sommers lives in a houseboat moored at Fisherman's Wharf, a picturesque set of docks bordering the Inner Harbour of Victoria, BC. Jake inherited his craft, the Honeysuckle Rose, from his late Great-aunt Dierdre, once a successful artist and sixties flower child. Jake's a bit of a lost soul, who plays piano in a bar, loves the jazz music of the 1920s and '30s, and has a tendency to drink too much.

When a beautiful woman shows up at his floating home mistakenly believing Jake is a qualified and experienced private investigator, and begging to hire him for a case, the little voice in Jake's head tells him he should turn down the offer.

Too bad he never listens to his little voice.

He expects his 'investigation' to be a straightforward search for a young woman on the Internet. But both his client and her case turn out to be far more than he bargained for, and he's unwittingly plunged into a convoluted world of DNA ancestry, danger, intrigue, and murder.
