Damn Near Dead: Old, Bold, Uncontrolled: An Anthology of Geezer Noir (Click on title to see Amazon description of book)
From the Publisher:
When people think "senior citizens" and "mystery," certain images come to mind: the kindly old amateur sleuth with a ball of yarn in her lap, cat on the sofa, and a dead body in the foyer. A cup of tea, a plate of finger sandwiches, a severed head in a gift box. Jessica Fletcher, Miss Marple. Fixodent, and forget it. Genteel stuff like that.
But there's a dark side to The Golden Years.
Truth is, getting on is the most hardboiled thing you can do. Make it past 60 and your hair starts to go. Your body fails you at inopportune times. You begin to suspect you're surrounded by idiots. You have values and morals the rest of the world seems to have forgotten. You're the ultimate outsider. Cast aside. Ignored. Expected to die peacefully, in your sleep.
Not the seniors in this collection.
Welcome to a twilight world where turning 65 can mean you're the last woman standing... or the guy too stubborn to die. Here you'll encounter ORIGINAL crime tales by today's hottest crime writers!
We bet you haven't had these kinds of senior moments.
Hahahaha! Geezer Noir! I love it!
