Investigator Anne and her family discover a mystery where the clues are not so obvious, and not so close together either. Anne’s keen observation skills set her on a course destined for greatness. Her adventure involves an excentric millionaire, a shrine, a mine, and a . . . Hippo tank. Her boundaries are stretched as she finds herself searching across state borders, and looks for clues that have waited over a hundred years to be discovered.
