High Risk

It looks like Evaline Waters, a River Heights resident, is knee-deep in trouble. A huge corporation is suing her for her land; they want to tear down her house and put up a warehouse. And documentation of the zoning law that would protect Evaline's right to keep her land is missing. Figures!
I've got to find that document, but it's hard to focus on the land when I'm cruising at ten thousand feet. See, Ned and I are taking flying lessons, him with Colonel Lang, a friend of his family, and me with Frank Beltrano, an instructor at our local airport. It's a good thing I'm good at juggling more than two balls at once. Too bad I'm not the only one.

Nancy accepts, the cameras start rolling - and the trouble starts. People on the set get food poisoning. A crucial generator breaks. And to top it off, a lion who's meant to star in the movie breaks out of his cage and lunges straight towards Nancy! Can Nancy sniff out the suspect before the lion sniffs her out - or worse?
