Tired of fending off street thugs and worried about the day they
can no longer take care of themselves, three elderly widows, Josie,
Mabel and Mil, concoct the perfect plan for ensuring their safety,
which will also guarantee them free room and board for life.
As grocery bag-covered bodies begin turning up in Southern
California, police and the media are stumped. Detectives assigned
to the case, Paige Turner and Mark Wisneski, wonder what weird new
serial killer is on the loose. The victims are mostly drug addicts
and small-time crooks, but why the grocery bags?
The bodies pile up until the widows invite Turner and Wisneski
to tea, where they tell all. What they reveal shocks the world and
could lead to the widows' master plan seriously backfiring. Life on
the streets and in prison will never be the same.
"A rollicking read for anyone who plans to grow old. Lovable
heroines, dastardly bad guys, and a happy ending."
