Dixie Flannigan is back again, only this time, she stumbles onto a series of strange bank robberies that may be part of a tangled web leading to a political assassination. When Dixie finds herself in the middle of a bank robbery, she’s shocked to find her 60-year-old neighbor is the robber. This is the third robbery staged by elderly women in two weeks. At the urging of her neighbor’s son, Dixie investigates these elderly thieves and discovers a seemingly inane tie: they all attended the same health club, headed by a sleek young trainer. Convinced he has devised more than just a fitness program, Dixie uncovers an elaborate scheme of extortion, theft and corruption that stretches far beyond Houston.
