In a quaint retirement village, four friends gather weekly to delve into unsolved mysteries. They are Elizabeth, Joyce, Ibrahim, and Ron—each bringing their unique perspectives and experiences to the table. Despite their age, they are not to be underestimated. Their curiosity and determination lead them to investigate a series of cold cases, where they find enjoyment in piecing together clues and unraveling secrets from the past.

However, their peaceful routine is disrupted when a local property developer is found dead. Suddenly, the group finds themselves embroiled in a real-life murder investigation. With their first active case at hand, the quartet must navigate the complexities of the investigation while dealing with their own personal challenges. The stakes are high, and the pressure mounts as they race against time to uncover the truth.

As the four friends work together, they prove that age is just a number and that their wisdom and resourcefulness can outsmart even the most cunning of criminals. Can this unlikely gang solve the murder before the killer strikes again? Readers will be captivated by their antics and the charm of their camaraderie, making this a must-read for mystery lovers.
