You’ve seen them, maybe even know them, those guys sitting together in the back of the diner early on Wednesday mornings. Larry, Craig, Mike, Garry, and Tommy have known and supported each other for more than half a century.
They call themselves the Marigold Gang.
Since the 1950s, when they grew up on Marigold Court, they adopted the moniker "The Marigold Gang," choosing it because it sounded tough and adventurous. Over time, their bond only grew stronger, helping them through life's milestones—high school, college, marriages, raising families, welcoming grandchildren, and now, even facing the losses that come with age.
Then, one June day, a startling discovery is made: at the bottom of a lake, a red 1970 Chevrolet Monte Carlo covered in debris is found. Inside the car are four bodies, which are soon identified as members of a rock and roll band that disappeared more than fifty years ago.
The revelation shocks the small town of Lincolnville, and local police seek help from the Marigold Gang. With their deep roots in the community and a lifetime of shared experiences, the gang is asked to investigate this coldest of cold cases. The questions they face: can they find out what really happened to the band that was on the brink of international fame ''' and will their killer finally face justice?
This is a story about classic cars, gangsters, and rock and roll. ‘The Mystery of the Missing Monte Carlo’takes you back to a forgotten past filled with memories, sweethearts, and hopes for the future.
