Torbjorn Petersson was a Marine sniper in Afghanistan. He is also the son of a Marine and the grandson of Marine. After his service, he returns to the simple family farm he shares with his grandmother. But Petersson's real life is far from simple.

George McKlane was also a Marine and awarded the nation's highest medal for his service in Korea. After George loses his wife, he decides to sell his multi-million dollar estate home in Boca Raton, Florida. That's where his troubles start.

Anthony Silberg is the top real estate broker in Boca Raton, but actually into a lot more than that. George decides to let Silberg list his house but soon learns Silberg's true nature.

George backs out of the sale, not knowing that in doing so he just put a big target on his back. As things progress, Torbjorn Petersson learns of the situation and that his grandfather once saved George's life. He quickly decides that he is the only one that can save the hero. Now, if he can just get it done. 

Wrinkled Heartbeats is a well crafted and well-formulated story. The author uses true-to-life, well-researched flashbacks of the United States Marine Corps and the retreat from the Chosin Reservoir in North Korea in 1950.

The characters, main and secondary, are smartly developed. The reader will form an instant bond with George and his caregiver Sharonda.

The plot moves at a steady but electric pace, leaving the reader wanting to turn the page to see what happens next. It's a simple, easy book to read, one that I enjoyed very much.
