Back from schlepping all over New York City, P.I. Gladdy Gold is happy to be on her Florida turf again. Especially now that she and boyfriend Jack Langford are officially an item. But no sooner have the yenta brigade gotten back to their routine--complete with poolside stretching and kvetching--than a notorious outlaw, a.k.a. the "Grandpa Bandit," issues Gladdy's detective agency a direct challenge: Catch me if you can.

With the storm wreaking havoc and a dark mystery swirling around the Lanai Gardens retirement community, Gladdy and the girls are about to confront a ruthless killer determined to bury the past--and them along with it....
