Excerpt-
Jacob Rothberg was eighty years young, still presiding behind the counter, barking orders at the youngsters who worked there. They jumped when he told them what to do, but you could see their affection for him. Kind of like their surly on the outside but sweet on the inside grandpa.
Heck, he treated all of us that way. Zellie and I have known him since we were kids. Although neither of us ever worked for him, he treated us like we were his former employees, and we
indulged his whimsy.
“See those two people?” he barked at one of the two boys working behind the counter. “No not there, numbskull, over there.” He pointed right at us. “Two of my best employees. If you could do one tenth of what they did behind this very counter, you’d own the place in a year. You’d kick me right out. Right out that door. I could just retire to Florida.”
Retired government attorney Eric Small began writing a cozy mystery series featuring the investigations and adventures of Arnie and Zellie in their fledgling detective agency, set in the environs of Middletown, New Jersey. Brazen Gambit was the first in the series, and A Tale of Two Freddies continues from where that left off. Eric grew up in Middletown, and now lives in Florida with his wife, to whom he’s been married for over thirty years.
