Necessary larceny

by Ian Stout

Necessary Larceny tells the tale of a group of seniors conned out of millions of dollars by fraud artists. The impoverished elderly victims are too embarrassed to discuss the crime for fear younger relatives will think them incompetent, and remove what little control they still have over their lives. Then, however, a hero emerges with a plan: a sting operation is launched to recover the funds - and the adventure begins. Don Graves, reviewer for the Hamilton Spectator said "Ian Stout writes a tale well crafted, funny and eminently readable."
