More than half way back from Catalina Island on his boat, a man
makes a ship-to-shore S.O.S. radio call to the Marina del Rey Coast
Guard, but before he can describe his emergency, a gun is heard
being fired on his boat and the transmission ends. When a crew
lowered from the the Coast Guard helicopter board his boat and find
his body, there is no other person on the boat... and no way that
any other person could have boarded his boat going 30 miles an
hour, and gotten away from the speeding boat. Attorney Peter
Sharp's ex-wife (the recently-elected District Attorney)
reluctantly asks Peter and his 12-year-old genius legal ward Suzi
to assist them in determining if this was suicide or murder... and
if murder, how it was accomplished. This is one of the most
baffling cases that Peter and Suzi have ever tackled, and the final
answer surprises everyone involved. Author Gene Grossman hasn't
created a stumper like this since his adventure #7, the Magician's
Legacy, because in many ways this story also contains the elements
of a successful 'locked-room' mystery. The readers are invited to
match wits with Suzi, to see if they can solve the mystery before
she does.
