Book 2
What’s worse than one dead body? Two, right?
Wrong.
It’s not so much the number of bodies that Patricia needs to worry about, it’s how far up the mystery meter they score, and this latest case is a doozey.
Confused by the clues, Patricia and team must work against the clock to discover the truth. It’s not so simple as following a breadcrumb trail of clues though and when the body count continues to climb … well, can anyone figure out what is going on?
An ape on the loose, a suspiciously empty glass tank in a storage room, and someone working very hard in the background to derail Patricia’s efforts.
Could this be Patricia’s toughest case yet?
The stakes have never been higher and if she doesn’t keep her head, she might lose it all.

Book 7
When they found the body of a stowaway in the bowels of the ship, no one could have predicted the storm of trouble heading their way.
Three-hundred-year-old coins found with the dead man’s meager belongings point to a treasure thought lost to the ocean long ago. However, when the arrival of a murderous mystery figure forced Patricia and her friends to figure things out for themselves, they questioned if the trail they now follow might just lead to one of the greatest treasure finds ever recorded.
Some might call that exciting, but for the gang on board the Aurelia, they have another word: deadly.
They are playing someone else’s game and not only are the rules unclear, they are constantly one step behind.
In the Canaries, they were being spied on. In Rio they found only bodies instead of answers – the mystery man left no one alive to reveal his secrets. Arriving in New York, things are about to get a whole lot worse.
But sometimes the only way to avoid trouble is to hit it head on.
