A neighbor asks 90s Club member Nancy Dickenson to ferret out the well-hidden secret of an antique clock, but as she works on that puzzle, she learns that swindlers are targeting the residents of Whisperwood Retirement Village. The con artists know too much to be strangers. Did they shoot and kill Nancy's new friend Betts? Nancy and the 90s Club pursue the killer and the con men, but the killer is no fool and attacks first. This time, the killer swears, Nancy will not escape. This is the third in the series featuring active 90-year-olds in an upscale retirement village. "Many people find my books inspirational," the author says, "because the characters reflect how the elderly live today with 100-year-olds running marathons, sky diving, working, and doing whatever they want to do." The 90s Club titles are taken from the much-loved Nancy Drew books for girls. "I bury clues to the Nancy Drew stories in my books to challenge the reader," says McIntire.
