Award-winning author John J Jessop co-wrote this book with his daughter, Jacqueline. The story was inspired by a once-in-a-lifetime 30-day, 7,600-mile cross-country road trip they took together in 2016. While the destinations may be real, all events in the book are hilariously fictitious.
Dr. Jason Longfellow, wannabe private eye, is married to Chelsea, a nurse who turns out to be one badass detective. Together they're a hilarious hot mess. Their dialogue alone will crack you up.
It starts with the theft of an invaluable research monkey, a job interview with a drug company on the west coast, a cross-country family road trip, and a toothache. It turns into the road trip from hell.
Mayhem and murder follow Jason wherever he goes. With each stop along the way, from a cowboy museum to a Titan missile base, to a Border Patrol Museum, it's clear that someone is trying to kidnap Jason, kill him, and steal his teeth.
Much to his wife's surprise, Jason's also having strange food cravings, his libido is over the top, and his energy level far exceeds that of a man his age.
What is it about being on the road that's so exciting and energizing? Who did Jason piss off so bad they want to kill him? What's so fascinating about his teeth?
Jason continues to act stranger and stranger, the bad guys aren't giving up, and Chelsea needs to solve this case before Jason ends up toothless, or dead.
John J Jessop is a pharmacologist with a career in the pharmaceutical industry, who retired to write murder mysteries and make people laugh. Jacqueline is a marketing expert in NYC with an MBA and a degree in media arts and design. She also designed the book cover.
