All Joe Brown wanted was peace and quiet. What he got was a murder case, a love triangle, and a gang of geriatric vigilantes. Welcome to Joe’s new normal.
Doug Bales didn’t just practice law — he survived it, sharpened by years in Florida courtrooms, conference rooms, and real estate deals gone sideways. A recovering attorney with a wicked sense of humor and a talent for storytelling, Doug now channels his war stories into wildly entertaining fiction where the only thing more colorful than his characters are the legal loopholes they stumble through. <More>
"I didn’t set out to write a murder mystery. I just started typing what I’d experienced, and someone ended up dead."
Bar-licensed, sunburned, and barely holding it together.
Turns out "just dinner" never ends well.
The only thing more dangerous than bylaws? Motives.
Step aside, Matlock...
the retirees have clues.
He's out of court, but not out of trouble.
Because of course it does.
Before there were billion-dollar blockbusters, intergalactic superheroes, or masked vigilantes with marketing deals, there was The Original Justice Gang—a group of crime-fighting seniors who don’t remember where they left their glasses… but always know where justice is hiding.
These seasoned saviors patrol the shuffleboard courts and cafeteria lines of Sunset City, a retirement community with more secrets than the NSA and more drama than cable news. You may not find them in the latest DC Studios movie, but don’t tell them that. They’re fairly certain they came up with the name “Justice Gang” first—back in the late ’60s, give or take a decade.
Each member of the gang has a colorful past, a questionable knee, and a knack for getting into trouble none of their adult children need to know about. Whether they’re solving crimes, exposing scams, or just trying to remember if it’s Jell-O day, the Justice Gang brings grit, wit, and orthopedic support to every mission.
So if you find yourself in Sunset City and someone suspiciously fast is scooting your way in a power chair with a cape flapping in the breeze—don’t worry. Justice is coming… slowly, methodically, and probably with snacks.
“My utility belt is mostly pill organizers and Werther’s Originals.” — Justice Gang member who prefers to remain anonymous.
