The Grandpa Gang
The Grandpa Gang.
They planned the heist between bingo and the early bird special. In Florida, the most dangerous criminals are the ones who need a nap before noon.
When a professional, multi-million-dollar bank robbery rocks the sleepy fishing town of Cedar Key, the cops blame a phantom crew from Miami.
But private investigator Gumbo Malone isn't so sure. The clues don't point to slick organized crime; they point to orthopedic shoes, the faint smell of arthritis cream, and a getaway vehicle that probably has a top speed of 15 mph.
His investigation leads him to the last place anyone would look: the Sunset Palms Retirement Community.
There, he finds his suspects: a crew of four senior citizens who've swapped their shuffleboard cues for shotguns. Led by a mastermind who runs the operation with the ruthless efficiency of a condo board president, this geriatric gang-featuring a wheelchair-bound safecracker, a hot-rodding getaway driver with a lead foot, and a lookout who can't hear a thing-has just pulled off the heist of the century.
They didn't do it for the money. They did it because they were bored.
But their little adventure has kicked a hornet's nest. The robbery has attracted the unwanted attention of a furious Miami mob boss who thinks his territory has been invaded, a deadly-serious cartel sicario missing a very important package, and an inept bounty hunter who keeps getting distracted by the community potluck dinners.
Soon, Gumbo is the only thing standing between the world's most unlikely heist crew and a full-scale turf war erupting next to the water aerobics pool.
If you're looking for a laugh-out-loud funny mystery packed with quirky characters, absurd situations, and a plot that twists faster than a golf cart chase, your next favorite read has arrived. This is the perfect book for anyone who loves a weird Florida mystery, a humorous amateur sleuth novel, or a story that proves you're never too old to raise a little hell.
