Knit One, Heist One : A charming cosy mystery where crafty seniors stitch up the perfect plan

'An unlikely but thoroughly enjoyable halfway house between Richard Osman and Irvine Welsh' Mail on Sunday

Janus Lodge isn’t your typical retirement community. Sylvia Abercrombie and her knitting-obsessed gang of octogenarians are feisty, foul- mouthed, and fiercely protective of their home. So when a shady developer plots to evict them and build a 'gentlemen’s club', they hatch an audacious plan to save their sanctuary – by starting a secret knitwear empire with a scandalous twist. As sales skyrocket, secrets unravel, and Sylvia’s ex-husband lurks in the shadows, the gang must pull off the ultimate heist to protect their beloved Lodge.

Hilarious and heartfelt, Knit One, Heist One is a riotous romp proving that age is no barrier to action.
