The Silver Ring Mystery

The Silver Ring Mystery

Helen Wells

1960

Novels

Vicki Barr has the best office in the world: thirty thousand feet in the air. As a flight stewardess in 1960, she logs miles and memories in equal measure, until a desperate letter lands in her lap. An elderly couple begs for her help finding Lucy Rowe, a granddaughter they've never known, lost somewhere in the shuffle of a fractured family. Vicki takes the case mid-flight, weaving through her schedule of takeoffs and landings while hunting for clues on the ground. The trail leads through old grudges, hidden identities, and the kind of family secrets that don't stay buried forever. What starts as a favor becomes a full-blown investigation, and Vicki must solve the mystery before the plane lands for good. Part of the beloved Vicki Barr mystery series that kept 1950s and 60s girls turning pages late into the night, this installment captures the glamour and grit of early jet-age travel. It's a time capsule wrapped in a puzzle, perfect for readers who want adventure with a retro twist.
