What could be worse than having a gangster on board the world’s finest cruise liner. Having several of them obviously!

The Aurelia plays host to an underworld crime boss and his bodyguards, but when the gangster’s reluctant-looking bride to be goes missing and a ransom note if left in her place, Patricia puts her sleuthing hat on to help the new deputy captain solve the crime.

With new friend, eccentric socialite Lady Mary Bostihill, gym-bunny Barbie and her ever faithful butler by her side, Patricia intends to find out who has the missing woman and discover why so many rival gangs are trying to find her.

However, with no actual skills to call on and a niggling reminder that she was cleaning houses for a living just a few weeks ago, will she find the girl in time or just lead her friends into danger?

Expect the author’s usual blend of humour, mystery, and action and Patricia Fisher gets in too deep again.
