The Clue of the Gold Coin

A vintage 1950s mystery featuring Vicki Barr, an airline stewardess whose glamorous career takes an unexpected turn toward danger. When a shipment of priceless gold doubloons vanishes during her flight from New York to Tampa, she finds herself entangled in a criminal conspiracy spanning two countries. The stolen coins were bound for the Gasparilla Pirate Festival, and with the FBI now involved, Vicki's keen observations and independent spirit make her an unexpected asset in tracking down a ruthless gang who will stop at nothing to protect their secret. Between flights, she pieces together clues while navigating suspicious warehouse workers, a tenacious private investigator, and an innocent old man whose life hangs in the balance. It's a gleeful premise: a stewardess in heels and a crisp uniform, solving crimes at 30,000 feet and beyond.
