The Da Vinci Code meets Nancy Drew in this galloping middle-grade mystery about twelve-year old Colophon Letterford and the ancient treasure left to her literary publishing family.
As a lawyer, Deron Hicks investigates mysteries for a living, so it's only natural that he wrote about one of literature' s most puzzling people. He lives in Warm Springs, Georgia with his wife children.
"Superbly written, plenty of action, a bright and inquisitive 12-year-old girl protagonist, and lots of literary flair, this book can be recommended to pretty much any kid in the 8-13 range."
—Decatur Metro
"The combination of humor and suspense works well to keep readers turning the pages of this modern-day mystery."
—Kirkus
"Hicks establishes an aura of old-fashioned mystery in his entertaining debut."
—Publishers Weekly
"A fine traditional mystery with a modern sensibility."
—Booklist
