George C King

Senile in Sarasota George C King

Alzheimer's is not a laughing matter--or is it? The author dares to answer in the affirmative, combining nursing home hijinks with a plot that features stolen pigs and a love affair between a domestic sow and a wild boar. P. I. Kathy King and her partner, Dr. George Wallace, are hired to find out who rustled the pigs from three farms east of Sarasota, Florida. In the meantime, the mother of her parents' next-door neighbor is moved to the Jesus Loves Me Nursing Home after running amok at an assisted living center. Kathy's investigation is hitting a dead end until she uncovers a connection between the rustled pigs and the nursing home, where unruly Alzheimer's patients are taught to play hand chimes.  And what of Helga--the Hereford sow with the markings of a Viking goddess--who lusts to join the wild hogs?
 
Senile in Sarasota completes the trilogy of comedy-mysteries set in Florida, preceded by Sixty in Sarasota and Sexy in Sarasota.   In all three novels Mr. King displays an exceptional command of the English language and an outrageous sense of humor.  Other novels by the author include The Young Balboas, a coming-of-age epic set in Panama in the 1950s; and The Rupture, a satire of the rapture, in which an extraterrestrial leads a revolt against the religions of Earth. Both Sixty in Sarasota and The Rupture have been Kindle best sellers.
