The Gladstone Bag: A Sarah Kelling Mystery

Sarah Kellings Aunt Emma leaps at the chance to stay at her old friend Adelaides summer place, enjoying a quiet time repairing some stage jewelry while keeping an eye on the artists and writers wholl be occupying Adelaides six guest cottages. On the ferry, Emmas Gladstone bag is temporarily stolen. Could someone have mistaken those junk jewels for real diamonds? She meets her guests-to-be who inform her they plan to dig for Pocapuks legendary pirate treasure without having bothered to get Adelaides permission. On the island, her bag is heisted again, a trespassing scuba diver is found dead, and a mysterious stranger is off on a rampage of attempted murders. Emma enlists niece Sarah and her husband, Max Bittersohn, for a spot of long-distance detecting.
