Four retired detectives are living out their golden years on the same cul-de-sac in an idyllic planned community called Peace River Village in Sunland, Florida.

When the neighbor's seventeen-year-old granddaughter goes missing, the local police conclude she's a runaway and dead file the case. Dissatisfied with the official police response, the girl's grandmother is desperate to find her and seeks counsel from her detective friends.

Upon hearing of her plight, the cadre of retirees reach a different conclusion and decide to launch their own investigation. But they could never imagine the evil they would encounter or the danger they would confront.

Will the retirees' combined experience be enough to solve the mystery before the teen is sold into the lurid underground sex trafficking world?

Christopher Amato, who spent a career as a federal agent, is back with his latest thriller in Peace River Village. It's time to buckle up your seat belt and get ready for a wild ride that careens from tension to hilarity to horror!

Critic reviews

"A small coterie of retired cops jumps at the chance to solve the mystery of the neighbor’s missing granddaughter. A thoroughly engaging and clever read where the senior sleuths encounter a network of dastardly characters involved in drugs and human trafficking. Two thumbs up!” –Sherry Hobbs, author of Bird of Passage and Mac—The Wind Beneath My Wings

The premise is interesting, and the ex-cops bring a fun mix of banter, wit, and experience to the case. It felt more character-driven than plot-driven, which worked in parts, but I was hoping for a bit more suspense and intensity. Still, an enjoyable listen overall.

Casual Crime-Solving Fun

The story is ok and the dialogue between the two old cops could be funny, but I’m disappointed with the reader. Lines are rushed through and it sounded more like he was reading than becoming the characters. I would have enjoyed it more reading it myself

Liked the characters

I did like that they did NOT develop an actual sexual assault! I would have stopped listening at that point
