The Green Pearl Caper

Desperate to scare up business for his struggling agency, Damien Dickens places an ad in the local paper: "Dickens Detective Agency. We find what you're looking for."

He didn't anticipate Celine Sutherland would walk into his office, a copy of the ad in her hand. Nor did he expect to be accused of her murder after her body was discovered half-hidden under the Atlantic City boardwalk. The police are convinced of Damien's guilt after finding his gun and wallet at the crime scene. Celine's older sister, CEO of the family's tobacco empire, insists that Damien pulled the trigger. Even Millie, his secretary and the love of his life, deserts him.

Who killed Celine, and why? Damien is sure the motive will lead him to the murderer. Join him as he scours the streets of Atlantic City and the back roads of Vermont for evidence that will reveal Celine's killer and clear his own name.
