Mapping Human History by Steve Olson
Michael Kincaid, a retired Marine Corps Sgt. Major turned English Literature Professor, and his wife Doris, become involved in a caper while on their honeymoon in Long Beach, WA. Their first day at Long Beach, a stranger recognizes Michael as the author of the Harry Steele detective novel series, introduces himself, then asks Michael to investigate a mundane problem within his family, keeping or disposing of their three generation legacy; the Heinrich Voelcker farm in Idaho. This request ends up being more than Michael and Doris bargained for, turning their honeymoon into a kidnapping and conspiracy investigation of a mysterious third party trying to swindle the Voelckers out of their legacy.
