Why would anyone suspect four sixty-some-year-old women of running an organized crime ring in one of Florida's most upscale senior living facilities? After spending their entire lives connected to the Jersey mob, Carmen the Nose Bustamante, Smiling Tess Fontana, and their cohorts head south to Highland Terrace with the intention of escaping their pasts and New Jersey's frigid winters. But old habits die hard. They call themselves the Bridge Club, and while they might be under Highland Terrace's radar, the Florida Bureau of Investigation (FLABI) is well aware of their activities. Agents Winnie and Pell arrive in Naples, Florida, to investigate how drugs from a truckload of stolen pharmaceuticals ended up in the hands of a Naples housewife. With the housewife in custody, the agents begin to piece together a picture of a highly developed criminal enterprise with links to one of the mob's oldest names, Bustamante. The trail leads them to the Stone Crab Flea Market where security specialist, Milo Purdie, has his own investigation under way. Armed with a sense of duty and a can of mace, Milo is determined to expose the after-hours illegal activity in booth number 408. If he can get a date with the booth's proprietor, so much the better. When Sonny Delaney learns that her freakishly quirky sister has been injured in a kidnapping plot at Highland Terrace, she volunteers to fill in. For Sonny this means returning to work as a caregiver, an occupation she thought she'd laid to rest. The client is multimillionaire turned hoarder, Dean Phillips. Believing his neighbor is trying to seduce him, Phillips purchases an overpriced bottle of Viagra, ensuring he will be up to the task. Sonny informs the authorities, and the illicit drugs turn Phillips into another victim of the Bridge Club. Shannon Danford writes and practices yoga from her home in southwest Florida. This is her second novel.
