Montreal's legendary Detective Lambert Closse has finally decided to call it a career. Sadly, like so many, he waited too long to walk away. Now "Lucky Lambo" finds his mind stuck in the muck between restlessness and regret, with no goal beyond polishing off the next "goodbye" bottle of wine.
That all changes with a letter from his late-wife's nephew: an invitation to Coyote Pond to celebrate the Fourth of July... and a surprise farewell present- one last mystery to solve- courtesy of the woman of his life.
When Lambo's American adventure turns tragic, he's faced with a choice: retreat into retirement, or make things right. The decision is an easy one... but figuring out who murdered the manager will be no holiday parade.
In a park packed with colorful characters: Uly the gatekeeper, DeeDee at the desk, Maintenance Mickey, Bartender Butch, Esperanza the Estonian, "top cop" Captain Jake, the eccentric Prince Vagabond and of course Boss Betty, Lambo must determine who's to blame, why they did it, and how to bring them to justice... before "Le D?tective" becomes a victim himself.
