"A small coterie of retired cops jumps at the chance to solve the mystery of the neighbor's missing granddaughter. A thoroughly engaging and clever read where the senior sleuths encounter a network of dastardly characters involved in drugs and human trafficking. Two thumbs up!" -Sherry Hobbs, author of Bird of Passage and Mac-The Wind Beneath My Wings
Four retired detectives are living out their golden years on the same cul-de-sac in an idyllic planned community called Peace River Village in Sunland, Florida.¿¿

Upon hearing of her plight, the cadre of retirees reach a different conclusion and decide to launch their own investigation. But they could never imagine the evil they would encounter or the danger they would confront.
