A high-seas adventure-or a deep-water tombstone?!
Depression-era sleuth Sparky is back in action, but this time she is out to sea! Sparky skipped it out of landlocked Bunker Hill and stowed away on an ocean liner, which turns out to be jam-packed with disgruntled ex-silent movie actors hoping the mysterious film project they are sailing toward will rejuvenate their dead careers. But when Sparky is soon discovered, she becomes hopelessly ensnared in a dangerous case of mistaken identity.
Tensions are running high. Someone tumbled overboard under strange circumstances. But Sparky didn't do it! The passengers are suspicious of Sparky, but she's even more suspicious of them. Will Sparky uncover what's really going on before the vengeful passengers make her walk the plank?
Sparky misses her guardian, former silent movie star, Tootsie, and she even misses her sketchy ex-boss, Bookie. Will she ever see them again? Or will our young hero be forever lost at sea?
The South Seas Shenanigans is the fourth in author Rosalind Barden's hilarious, historical 1930s cozy LA noir Sparky of Bunker Hill Mystery series with a most unlikely amateur sleuth, Sparky, an 11-year-old street punk who's a bit of a little criminal herself! The first in the series, The Cold Kid Case, is a Firebird Book Award Winner for Best Cozy Mystery.
