- Synopsis
- IN THE HEART of historical Philadelphia, within the shadow of Independence Hall, Connie Blair solves one of the most baffling mysteries she has ever encountered. Connie is sent on a research assignment by the Reid and Renshaw Advertising Agency to an old mansion which is being restored to its original Colonial character. Caroline Calder, the eccentric late owner of the mansion, willed a valuable set of six porcelain figurines to her niece, Maryanne Jessup. But the figurines have disappeared. Everyone except Maryanne insists that the unpredictable Miss Calder simply disregarded the terms of the will and gave the Ruby Queens, as she did other possessions, to someone else before she died. Connie decides to go along with Maryanne's theory and help find them. Through a curious circumstance, Connie discovers a clue that the Ruby Queens had been well hidden in the mansion, and only recently removed. Convinced that the Ruby Queens have been stolen, Connie does some careful sleuthing, in which she is aided by Happy Wallace, a handsome architectural student from the University of Pennsylvania. In her efforts to locate the figurines and apprehend the culprit, Connie faces many dangerous and exciting situations before the pattern of this intriguing mystery finally becomes clear.
