The Geezer Squad

About the Book

A group of old friends, most just past sixty.  They’ve done well in careers, although only one has put away enough money to think, without wry laughter, about retiring. But they want to do something meaningful in these later days of their lives. As with a lot of baby boomers, their raucous idealism of the Sixties has been drifted over by layers of jobs and mortgages and families and divorces and vacations and cars and gadgets and…

Whatever happened to that changing the world thing?

Tired of just bitching, they decide to get active again, put something back in the stream. They’ll right some wrongs, fight for the little guys, take down some corporate greedheads. They get plenty more than they’re ready for, running into arsonists and hired guns along the way to nding that deeper meaning they seek.
