At Janus Lodge, Sylvia Abercrombie and her feisty, foul-mouthed friends face eviction by a shady developer. To save their home, they launch a secret knitwear empire with a scandalous twist - but as sales soar, secrets surface, and Sylvia's ex looms nearby, the gang must pull off the ultimate heist. Hilarious, heartfelt, and full of mischief, this tale proves age is no barrier to adventure.

'An unlikely but thoroughly enjoyable halfway house between Richard Osman and Irvine Welsh' Mail on Sunday

Janus Lodge isn't your typical retirement community. Sylvia Abercrombie and her knitting-obsessed gang of octogenarians are feisty, foul- mouthed, and fiercely protective of their home. So when a shady developer plots to evict them and build a 'gentlemen's club', they hatch an audacious plan to save their sanctuary - by starting a secret knitwear empire with a scandalous twist. As sales skyrocket, secrets unravel, and Sylvia's ex-husband lurks in the shadows, the gang must pull off the ultimate heist to protect their beloved Lodge.

Hilarious and heartfelt, Knit One, Heist One is a riotous romp proving that age is no barrier to action.

Donna Moore

Donna Moore was born in 1962 and led a sheltered childhood in a small English village. A crime fiction fan from a young age, Donna wanted to be one of Enid Blyton's Famous Five and fight crime with the aid of only a basket of cucumber sandwiches and a bottle of ginger beer. She spent her spare time following mysterious strangers around the village - especially those with cockney accents and a couple of days' growth of stubble - until a complaint from the new local vicar put a stop to her sleuthing career.
