Summary
For forty-one years, Dolores Pike counted other people's money at the Hartsell Savings and Trust and never once got a number wrong. So when the pension checks in the mill town of Hartsell Landing start coming up short, she knows exactly how short, and exactly how it was done. Every transfer was legal-looking. Every signature was real. And at four o'clock on the last day of October, whatever is left of the retired mill workers' fund will be gone for good.
The lawyers want a retainer and nobody else will listen, so Dolores gathers the only crew she can: a school-bus driver who once ran lights for touring shows, a nineteen-year-old locksmith's apprentice who asks "Is this illegal?" before every single job, a retired stage magician turned minister who never tells a lie but is a genius at letting you be wrong, and a retired crane operator whose enormous truck has never gone faster than thirty-one miles an hour.
Their weapons are a borrowed office trailer, a stack of permits that look wrong and are perfectly legal, a staged audit, and a bake sale that sells a very great many lemon squares. Their rules are simple. Nobody gets hurt. Nobody lies about who they are. They take back what was taken, to the penny, and not one cent more.
But the smooth man in the quarter-zip has a plan of his own, and thirty days is not a lot of time to find out who is really conning whom.
A warm, witty, clean small-town heist caper about neighbors, pie and the long, slow arithmetic of getting even.
