SENIOR DISCOUNT
They called them shoplifters.
They called them criminals.
They called them a threat to the community.
The truth was far more complicated.
When private investigator Gumbo Malone is hired to infiltrate a retirement community in Florida's famous Villages, the case seems simple enough. A group of senior citizens known as the Earlybirds have been quietly stealing merchandise from stores across a busy shopping corridor. The losses total more than forty thousand dollars. The operation is organized, disciplined, and surprisingly effective.
The alleged mastermind?
An eighty-one-year-old retired schoolteacher named Marjorie Welk.
But the deeper Gumbo digs, the stranger the case becomes.
The Earlybirds aren't stealing for profit.
They're fighting back.
As Gumbo uncovers a web of HOA corruption, sweetheart contracts, political manipulation, and a scheme designed to silence retirees fighting for their community, he realizes the real crime may not be happening inside the stores at all.
Now Gumbo must decide where his loyalties belong.
To the client paying his invoice.
Or to a group of senior citizens determined to save the programs, friendships, and purpose that give meaning to their lives.
Set among golf carts, gated communities, suspicious HOA boards, and the wonderfully strange world of Florida retirement living, SENIOR DISCOUNT delivers another laugh-out-loud adventure filled with quirky characters, sharp dialogue, small-town intrigue, unexpected twists, and the kind of Sunshine State weirdness that could only happen in Florida.
Perfect for readers who love humorous mysteries, amateur sleuth adventures, Florida crime fiction, cozy mysteries with attitude, Carl Hiaasen-style stories, eccentric senior citizens, and clever whodunits where the truth isn't always what it seems.
