A Connie Blair Mystery, number 7 in the series-Connie's suggestion of taking photographs of fur coats modeled in front of their living and breathing counterparts at the Philadelphia Zoo sounded, to the executives of Reid and Renshaw, like a very good idea. But who could have foreseen an escaped gorilla . . . and the theft of an expensive mink coat?
In The Brown Satchel Mystery, the third book in the Connie Blair Mystery series -- Connie Blair, the career-girl sleuth with an uncanny ability to encounter mysteries and solve riddles, and her twin sister Kit, stumble upon a thief's hideout during a work/vacation on mysterious Pelican Island and perilous adventures that threaten life and limb ensue.
In the darkness beyond, Connie thought she could detect movements, imagined she could hear running footsteps, but she couldn't be sure. With every muscle taut, she listened intently. Yes, she did hear something, heavy breathing, just below her. But it seemed to come – suddenly rough hands gripped her ankles and her feet were torn from their teetering perch. Her hands felt for a hold she couldn't find, a crevice to cling to, a momentary block against the impending disaster that made her throat constrict and her heart pump wildly. In one last moment of consciousness she thought frantically, "I may be killed!" When Connie Blair is sent on a research assignment to an old mansion in the heart of historical Philadelphia, she is catapulted into one of the most baffling mysteries she has ever encountered.
