Every Thursday, Jaime Crandall sings for the residents of the Final Rest retirement community. One day Jaime goes missing, and her best friend, Tania Bellows, is found dead on South Beach. Jaime was last seen at a surprise party hosted by the nephew of one of Miami's biggest drug lords. Jaime is an innocent singer on the cusp of national stardom, not a drug user or party girl. When the police refuse to explore Tania's murder, and then close the case on Jaime's kidnapping, the residents of the Final Rest rise to the cause. They form the Varicose Vigilantes, a group of senior citizens dedicated to finding Jaime, and then ridding the world of illegal drugs. In this edgy and hilarious tale, a group of aging retirees must break the crusty chains of age, and create a new paradigm for living. Only then can they find Jaime Crandall, stop a global white slavery ring, take down Miami's biggest drug dealers, foil a terrorist plot that will make 9/11 look like a rehearsal. This poignant story will make you laugh and cry. It will touch you in places long-since dormant. It will re-awaken hope in your heart and strength in your soul. It will make you optimistic for the future, knowing that anything, if you believe, is possible. Jay Lumbert has combined his unparalleled experience in global finance with is extraordinary imagination to create one of the greatest series in the fiction marketplace today. The Varicose Vigilantes continues the saga of Jack Trance, the reluctant government operative who is destined to save mankind, whether he wants to or not. Except this time, it is Trance's uncle, Tony, that is our hero. To help save a kidnapped girl and take down Miami's most powerful drug dealer, Tony's fellow residents of The Final Rest Retirement Community band together to form a powerful new force ? the Varicose Vigilantes. Trance lives within the world of espionage. He has a deep love for his nation. He also has a conscience and a soul. In war, the necessities of action create great conflict between the two. Trance must always balance his sense of duty to nation with his duty to mankind. The Varicose Vigilantes prove that power can be overcome with humor, experience and a deep sense of justice. The Vigilantes prove that age isn't what makes us old. Youth isn't what makes us young. Attitude is as important as years. The mind is powerful, and a mission in life is everything.

They reveal the forces of nature, weaving science and religion into stories about the global problems and conflicts of today. These are books that let us escape into page-turning stories.
