Thanks for your answers. Sorry I haven't answered sooner. I'm gonna try to come up with a new version of the logline soon.
Yes, all people under 65 around the world have suddenly died and that's why the retired detective is the only one who can work the case, at least in whatever city I decide to set this story.
I'm considering making him computer illiterate, or at least uncomfortable with technology so that will be an obstacle to overcome.
The idea is that everybody under the age of 65 uploaded their minds into cyberspace and ended up being trapped there with no way back so their bodies couldn't get water and nourishment and so on, so they all died leaving their minds trapped. And nobody remembered to let those over 65, who were considered incompatible with the uploading technology, know that everybody else uploaded themselves. ... Only I couldn't get all that into the logline, or it would have been even longer.
I'll see what I can do with the next iteration of the logline.
