Martha's Vineyard Mysteries

Former Boston PD Detective Jeff Jackson has taken a somewhat self-imposed very early retirement in he having received a gunshot wound on duty, the bullet still lodged in his back too close to the spine to remove safely, it which still occasionally causes him pain, both physically and emotionally, but the shootout which killed his partner. While he keeps in contact with his Boston PD colleagues in order to find out who shot him and killed his partner, Jeff has moved into what was his recently deceased father's beachfront house on Martha's Vineyard for a relaxed life of boating and fishing. His planned relaxed life isn't as he is called in unofficially by his father's old friend, Martha's Vineyard Police Chief Duncan Madieras, to assist in major cases the department is ill-equipped to handle on its own, mostly concerning homicides. Through it all, Jeff reconnects with his childhood friend, physician and occasional ME Dr. Zee Madieras, the Chief's daughter, the two who can admit to each other that they are falling for each other, getting together, however, which has its complications on both sides.
