"The Most Peaceful Town in the World" boasts the sign leading to the quiet adult community of Young Lake. And it was-until they started shooting across the generation gap. First there were the "incidents" a broken arm, a scorpion sting, rocks hurled at the school bus. Next little Timmy Barkus was missing-until they found his body. And then the little girl... Gerritt DeGraaf had never seen such an unlikely assembly of suspects. And yet it had to be-one of these mild old people was frightened enough or insane enough to murder.
