"NEVER TRUST ANYONE UNDER SEVENTY-FIVE!" That's the motto of the Gladdy Gold Detective Agency. Don't laugh- having solved a case of serial murder, Gladdy and her eccentric neighbors are building their reputation between canasta games and pool exercises-hunting down everything from lost pocketbooks to missing octogenarians. And when a jealous woman sets them after her wayward husband, and a flasher strikes their retirement complex, two seemingly unrelated cases collide with a third- a series of dastardly murders targeting Florida's wealthiest wives. But when the girls win tickets for a luxury bingo cruise, they hit the jackpot. Because this ship is carrying not only Florida's fiercest bingo competitors but also a killer-and it's up to Gladdy and her friends to stop him before one of them becomes his next victim....
After being widowed at a young age with three small children, Rita Lakin began an extensive writing career, which has included staff writing on television programs such as Peyton Place, Mod Squad, Dynasty, and Strong Medicine, as well as creating original series such as The Rookies.
