Lennie, Guido and Me

Laughter, suspense and three gutsy old men who don’t mind breaking a few rules.

Matt Cole, a glib-talking former private investigator becomes suspicious of some late night deliveries to his retirement home. He recruits two of his buddies at the home and together they do a little investigating. Their snooping inadvertently places them in grave danger.

Lennie Pelton, who is a former Korean War fighter pilot suffering from white-knuckle flashbacks to his combat service, and Matt’s best buddy at the home, reluctantly assists him in his shenanigans. Also helping Matt is Guido Porcello, a retired mafia wise-guy and reject from the witness protection program.

Together, these three oldsters blunder from one hilarious situation to another, some involving the police, the FBI, the Los Angeles Times and the L A. County Health Department. Along the way, they succeed in getting a Chinese triad, a mob hit-man, and several of the home’s staff and other retirees on their trail angry enough to kill them, or at least do them great bodily harm.

Though Matt and his buddies’ predicament is serious, the humor they display will have you belly laughing and wishing for more. In addition, the story is not only funny but gripping, all the way through to the heart-warming conclusion.

Lennie, Guido and Me, A great read!
