Six heavily armed, elderly women, what could possibly go wrong?
Swindled of their life savings by their retirement home manager, the ladies of the 4 o'clock poker club are destitute and off the grid. Violet, Marybeth, Mini, Doris, Ruby, and Bernice retire to an abandoned farm. How long can the fragile peace last, with all those years of experience demanding to be unleashed?
Each with a full life of success and hardship behind them, the ladies are, to a woman, determined not to be a burden on anyone. But when the FBI fails to retrieve their savings, the reality of dying poor crashes in on them, and desperation and anger push them inexorably toward a life of crime. A direction that not all of them are strangers to.
"What happens when five 'golden years' escapees set out with a hundred thousand dollars and a rental car on a tropical island? Great fun, that's what! Hawkins's tenderness for his characters enriches the wit and wisdom of these golden gals on their high-spirited adventure." – Barbara Kyle, bestselling author of the Thornleigh Saga novels.
