Senior Citizens Wanted: For Questioning: Every Legend Has a Mugshot (The Silver Bandits Chronicles Book 4)
About
When the Silver Bandits take the stage, Sunnyvale Gardens expects glitz, glitter, and at least one malfunctioning drone. What they don’t expect is a jewel heist unfolding on live television—and the nation deciding the Bandits did it. Suddenly, their viral fame, Hollywood-level chaos, and on-air disasters make them look less like lovable seniors and more like the most entertaining suspects in America.
Hank, Jackie, Merry, Lenny, and Mabel were only trying to add a little sparkle to the talent show, but the universe had other plans. Within minutes, the judges are coughing glitter, the audience is screaming, Jackie’s wig is stuck in a stage curtain, and Lenny’s drone is performing acrobatics it was never built for. Then the priceless jewels vanish, the cameras catch nothing useful, and the sheriff arrives wearing the expression of a man who knows exactly which retirees ruined his evening.
Now the Bandits are scrambling to salvage their reputation—while accidentally making everything worse. Their police lineup becomes a community livestream. Their attempt at cooperation turns into a cookie-bribery scandal. Their “official statement” on daytime TV derails when Hank misreads the teleprompter and Jackie argues with a celebrity guest. And every piece of evidence seems to point directly at them, including the glitter footprints, the drone mishap, and a very talkative therapy ferret.
But if there’s one thing the Silver Bandits know best, it’s how to clear a name with chaos, cookies, and just enough courage to set off a fire alarm. Determined to expose the real thief, they launch an investigation of their own—a sting operation involving questionable disguises, suspicious casseroles, misbehaving technology, an overly enthusiastic audience, and a finale so spectacular it nearly blinds the first three rows with sparkle fallout.
As the town turns against them, the media fans the flames, and Gloria the gold golf cart gets wrongfully impounded as “evidence,” the Bandits discover they’re not just fighting accusations. They’re fighting to protect the community that once saw them as heroes. Their friendship is tested, their patience is stretched, and their sanity is… well, it wasn’t great to begin with.
But with every disaster comes a chance for redemption. And when the truth finally comes to light—thanks to glitter, guts, and Mabel’s surprisingly aerodynamic cookies—the Bandits must return to the stage for a performance no one will ever forget. Fame, forgiveness, chaos, community… and an encore that proves legends aren’t born. They’re loudly, accidentally made.
