Aaron Tucker isn’t a detective. An aspiring screenwriter, freelance reporter, stay-at-home dad, and expert on consumer electronics, Aaron actually defies all traditional characteristics of a detective. He’s 5’4,” and weighs less than Robert B. Parker’s leather jacket. And he doesn’t have any investigative training. But he’s funny, down-to-earth, lovable, and resourceful. He has good and loyal friends, like Jeff Mahoney, the huge rental car mechanic who helps him out of tight situations, and Abigail Stein, his sexy wife, who happens to be a successful criminal lawyer, and whose advice comes in handy a time or two.
So he’s baffled when the richest guy in his New Jersey town, Gary Beckwirth, insists that Aaron, and Aaron alone, investigate the disappearance of his wife, Mary Beckwirth, who has inexplicably vanished from their home in the middle of the night.
Aaron refuses Gary’s desperate pleas, but once the editor of the town newspaper offers Aaron $1000 to write the story on Mary’s disappearance, Aaron finds himself agreeing to investigate, despite his lack of investigative reporting experience.
Aaron, however, becomes frustrated at his attempts to solve this kidnapping case when he discovers Gary’s unwillingness to cooperate in any part of Aaron’s investigation. But he soon finds that the more he uncovers, the more complicated—and bizarre—the story becomes. An unknown miscreant scrawls a disturbing epithet about Aaron’s young son on the sidewalk outside their home—in barbecue sauce. Anonymous death threats are phoned in to him. A mysterious minivan seems to be lurking everywhere he travels, but then again, everyone in Midland Heights owns a mysterious minivan. Next, he becomes entangled in the town’s mayoral election. And one day, out of the blue, Mary Beckwirth calls to tell Aaron to stop investigating.
But then the missing person investigation becomes a case of murder. And Aaron is the one who finds the dead body. After writing this homicide story for the newspaper, Aaron finds himself shunned by the community: his editor refuses to give him more stories, the police tell him to back away from the investigation, Milt Ladowski—Gary Beckwirth’s attorney—vehemently denies Aaron access to Gary. So what does Aaron do? He plunges head-first into his own investigation on the kidnapping and homicide of Mary Beckwirth.
In For Whom The Minivan Rolls, author Jeffrey Cohen weaves an elaborate, can’t-guess-it-till-the-end plot with delightful, wacky, real-world characters, using Suburbia USA as the perfect backdrop.
