Not quite cozy. Not quite a murder mystery . . . Farley Panko and his rescue cat, Norman, head to an RV resort in Arizona, where an old friend cajoles Farley into helping with a criminal investigation. Not only is he now a reluctant amateur sleuth, but he's dragged into a wary, often thorny, relationship with a woman. He’s also horrified to discover that his golden-aged neighbors (whom he calls “goldies”) are communal and meddling.
Meanwhile, Torri, a remorseless leader of a Denver street gang, comes to Arizona to engage in an ingenious scam targeting seniors. She comes under suspicion by Farley, who, against his better judgment, pokes his nose into things. But shouldn’t a retired fifty-five-year-old software developer with a hankering for booze avoid criminal probes? Of course. Does he? Of course not . . . and he risks the ultimate price for his involvement.

Goldies and Grifters combines an ounce of substance abuse with an ounce of crime and a sprinkling of humour, resulting in a tale of deceit and mistrust, yet also revealing the heartaches—and hopefulness—associated with the search for mid-life companionship.
