The Last Piece — Donald F. Averill

When one of the members of the lady's bridge club at

Summit's Way is accosted by a police imposter, the women

form a vigilante group to apprehend the culprit. Armed

with pepper spray and walkie talkies, the women devise a

plan to catch the pervert. In addition to playing cards the

club assembles a jigsaw puzzle donated by Miss Toliver, a

ninety-year-old retired librarian. Shannon Durham, in her

early twenties, survives a car wreck and is hired by Miss

Toliver as a housemate. Shannon volunteers to be bate to

attract the phony cop.
