Neighborhood busybodies Marilyn and Jack are just settling into retirement in a small California town when their peaceful routine is disrupted: an irksome young neighbor dies under mysterious circumstances. The incident brings together a small, unlikely group of amateur neighborhood investigators, each anxious to prove their own innocence, and more than just the truth about the musician's death is revealed. Insomniacs, Inc. is a thrilling and cheeky novel of the zeitgeist, where division over political and racial identities threatens even the most tranquil suburban harmony. Can a small group of committed neighbors rise above their differences and work together to assist the inexperienced young detective in solving the murder? Or will their prejudices and suspicions derail the investigation?
