Barry (bobsywoo) | 13 comments The book is about a group of hired mercenaries, all with unique skills or hi-tech gadgets. The central character is a grandmother who is recruited following the attempted kidnap of her granddaughter at a play area. The book was written late 90's / early 00's (read in 2008ish). The book was the first in a series and was pretty light hearted and humorous.

I can recall the setting of the end and a little of the plot if this jogs anyone's memory.

Thankyou

Barry--you need to put in everything you remember about the book. Sometimes that's what is needed to jog the ol' memory card. . .

If you want to "hide" the spoiler, there is a way to do that. Type <*spoiler*> then the body of the spoiler <*/spoiler*> just take out the * and (view spoiler).

I remember the cover had images of a spherical webcam types devices.

The novel did have a comedic charm to it despite the plot ouline.
