Crash Course

Retired reporter Truman Kicklighter, flushed with the success of his first adventure (Lickety-Split), once again breaks out of the Fountain of Youth Residential Hotel in St. Petersburg, Florida. Almost immediately he finds himself up to his neck in hot water as he and a young woman who works at the rest home track down a used car scam that soon becomes deadly. Blessedly, there's nothing cute about Kathy Trocheck's creation-here is a senior citizen who is as crotchety as he is smart.
