The third installment of this Edgar Award-nominated series is another engrossing two-pronged adventure. nFollowing the Swallowtales writers conference, there are two visitors to the island. Chase Kannen, a dashing, 30ish explorer/adventurer arrives on a huge expedition yacht in search of a bronze statue of Cassandra (from Greek mythology) lost off the deck of a cargo ship in a storm on the lake in the 60s. He has a film crew with him, making a documentary about the search. They find the statue, but shortly thereafter, while it is displayed on the deck of the yacht, it disappears. If its not found, Kannen will be able to collect the insurance money, which is in the millions. n nMeanwhile, Lark and Pips Aunt Abigail, their moms estranged sister, arrives by ferry. The sisters havent seen their aunt since they were 5 and 3, and theyre not sure why she has decided to come now. Of course, it turns out Aunt Abigail has heard about the deed of land on Swallowtail that might leave Lark and Pip very rich. Turns out Aunt Abigail has a scheme to get the girls to sell their rights to the land . . . with her help, and for a small percentage.n
