The hottest sleuth to appear in childrens books since Nancy Drew (The Boston Globe) is back! Dont miss the eighth book in the series thats been described as a combination of Carl Hiaasens Flush and Janet Evanovichs Stephanie Plum books (School Library Journal) and hailed as nonstop whodunits (Kirkus Reviews)!The artsy crowd thinks Sammy Keyes has a lot of nerve showing up at a fancy reception in high-tops. But when she tackles a robber whos brandishing a gun with one hand and pulling paintings from the wall with the other, theyre glad she has nerve. Or are they?Sammy may have stopped one criminal, but the real crime at this show has yet to be discovered. The real crime is more subtle, more artful, than anything Sammys ever seen. Who knew art could be so dangerous?Praise for the Sammy Keyes series:If Kinsey Millhone ever hires a junior partner, Sammy Keyes will be the first candidate on the list.
