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.
Through a bizarre set of circumstances, Jake is visited by a woman who mistakenly believes he’s a Private Detective and wants to use his services. Though he knows nothing about private investigation, he agrees to take on her case, mainly because she’s exceedingly beautiful.
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.
