The Poker Night Poisoning
(2026)(Book 12 in the Sunset Manor Mystery series)
A Story by Cathlyn Sweets
THE POKER NIGHT POISONING
When card shark Mickey Sullivan collapses face-first into his poker chips after drinking his lucky bourbon, the weekly game at Sunset Manor takes a deadly turn.
Everyone at the table had both motive and opportunity—because Mickey's "friendly" poker games were anything but.
Violet Hartwell and her team of unlikely detectives soon discover that Mickey wasn't just winning pocket change from retirees. He was running a sophisticated money laundering operation, recruiting desperate residents with financial expertise to help him steal from criminals.
As Violet learns poker strategy, Frank's hearing aids pick up radio commentary, and Agnes's "Gambling Anonymous" support group turns into an interrogation session, they race to identify the poisoner before Mickey's criminal associates decide to finish what the poisoning started.
Because when retirement home poker involves federal crimes and fifty-thousand-dollar stakes, someone always plays their final hand.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
