Description
In this action-packed caper novel, a long-retired cop gets wrapped up with a girl on the run.
Long-retired cop Fitch Henry Haut is terminally ill and living out his final years alone. As he sits in his favorite diner enjoying the meatloaf special, he watches as a young girl steps in and spots two rough-looking men at the counter. When they see her, she runs off and they give chase.
His cop instincts kick in and Fitch follows, catching up with them in the parking lot. As the two men try to force her into their vehicle, Fitch manages to get the upper hand, and he and the girl take off in his broken-down Winnebago.
The girl is Wren Jones, a runaway from an abusive foster home. Earlier that day she overheard the two men going on about a casino robbery they just committed, and this was the second time she got away from them that day. Fitch realizes the men will come hunting for them again, and that the ailing rig he’s driving won’t be hard to spot. A bond forms as Fitch and Wren struggle to escape out of town, both aware that time is not on their side.

Loved this Canadian novel !
Didn’t realize this was a novel set in Canada. I just thought the book seemed something different, a long retired RCMP officer rescuing a runaway teen from big trouble. The local group ofRV retirees are a force to b3 reckoned, and the villains are genuinely scary. The final scene where the retired RVers face the last criminal is a replay of the OK Corral face off. These seniors don’t back down from danger! Thoroughly enjoyed Canadian place names, Toronto, Capreol, Sioux Lookout, Winnipeg, Timmies,(doughnuts), Tim Horton, gold/green Prairies, British Columbia. Easy listening to some good writing, cr3dible characters, keen observations about seniors. Seniors weren’t born old, they’ve accumulated lots of life experience.
