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.
'Britain's retirement villages are evidently chock full of feisty pensioners ready to solve crimes at the drop of a hat. Or, in this case, commit them. Janus Lodge is under threat of closure, as a Glasgow gangster threatens to redevelop it. The residents' only chance is to buy the place themselves, so they set up a business knitting designer fetish wear. It all adds up to an unlikely but thoroughly enjoyable halfway house between Richard Osman and Irvine Welsh.' Mail on Sunday
