When gangs of rioters, political activists and religious extremists descend on a small English town, stirred by corrupt politicians and officials, bent on bringing down the fabric of society, who will stand in their way? It's left to two amateur detectives, a gay marine, an escaped mental patient, oh, and a group of heavily armed Girl Guides. Not one of them under 70!
Sleuths is a riotous story of crooked men who plot to destroy the British government, abolish the monarchy and shut down the bars. Their carefully laid plans suffer a hiccup when they arrest Lady Wilsbrough, a woman with more connections than a Google server and a late husband who hoarded more weapons than many small countries have. Her neighbours, Cathy and Lynda, aspiring detectives, who have their fingers on the pulse of the neighbourhood, particularly the men, get together with gay, transvestite marine Trevor and Wilsbrough's son, Oswald, a recent inmate of an institution for the laughably insane.
Together with a grizzled hospital matron and the toughest bunch of girl guides ever to tote arms, they set out to right the wrongs and restore order. But with corrupt policemen, hapless MI5 agents and a rabid deluded sheikh to contend with, it's going to be an uphill struggle that can only end in a battle royale!
Some unlikely allies come forth together with some sinister foes. One thing's for sure, the little town of Warminster, along with the halls of Westminster, will never be the same again. It is said the first casualty of war is the truth! Not when you arm enthusiastic pensioners with submachine guns and mortars, it isn't!
Will the mismatched group prevail, or will the forces of the greedily evil play the final ace up their sleeve?
