    About this ebook

    "Commended" in the Writing Magazine Self-Publishing Award 2015.


    Nicky and Chris are stranded in the Isles of Scilly; the last place they want to be. Daniel lost his leg in an accident and is managing fine. But he can't persuade his mother of that – she won't let him out of her sight. Howard G. Stevenson has a problem, too. He's after the famous Luardi Pearls stolen from an exhibition. And Granny can't understand why anybody should burgle her guesthouse without stealing anything. The summer holidays are taking a turn for the unexpected… An N.C.D. Mystery
