Smart. Savvy. Retired. Bored. The members of The Martini Club include a former CIA operative, a one-time Washington ad man, an ex-journalist, a retired brothel owner, an ex-airline pilot, and a non-practicing rabbi. This eclectic group assembles once a month to drink gin martinis, debate great issues and tell stories that may or may not be true. When an enigmatic financier offers them a chance to get "back in the game" and turn one-million dollars into untold riches, the retirees jump at the opportunity. But their plans are quickly stymied by the suspicious death of a local landowner, forcing The Martini Club to sober up and investigate potentially deadly hidden agendas.
Autorenporträt
As an award-winning investigative journalist, editor and political columnist, Alan Eysen wrote for 30 years about intertwining financial and political corruption. He was a lead member of the Newsday investigative team that won the 1970 Pulitzer Prize for exposing widespread corruption by Long Island public officials. He also taught journalism at the State University at Stony Brook, New York and Post College, a branch of Long Island University. After retiring, he worked as a speech writer for college presidents and as a political consultant to both Republicans and Democrats. Now he resides in the Lowcountry of South Carolina, where he continues to write, inspired by his fellow Martini Club members. Yes, they really exist.
