Free Excerpt From The Book (requires Adobe Acrobat Reader) Five senior citizens in their early sixties play games of their own which lead to murder. Wealthy Lucille Murray as grammar-commando terrorizes would-be writer Ceci Cantrell; snares Joan Pedersen’s husband Lars (teaching him to gamble with abandon until he owes her $250,000); and terminates financial support for her daughter’s eight-year romantic liaison in Italy.Violence escalates from verbal threats to malicious retaliation on the tennis court, to a vicious assault during the 12K bicycle race, to murder. A fictitious anniversary brochure presents the history of the actual Six County Senior Olympics, as well as the State of Illinois Senior Games. Most of the athletic events are presented in detail, woven throughout the narrative. This book is the second in a series which deals with murder and a senior citizen drop-in center. It continues the romance of the suburban cowboy detective, Stan Nevins, and the center’s director, Teresa Cusentino, begun in the first novel, PARK RIDGE.
