Description
Can Sydney be in two places at once? In a case of duplicity and deception, Sydney Lockhart and Ralph Dixon travel to the Faust Hotel in New Braunfels, Texas, where Milton Sweetwater checked in and disappeared shortly thereafter. A hotel maid discovered a bloody scene in Sweetwater’s room. The next morning, Police Chief McAllen found Sweetwater’s body on the bank of the Guadalupe River. Guess who was called in for questioning?
Sydney fears her past has come back to haunt her, and only a flimsy motive keeps her out of jail. With Dixon still recovering from a gunshot wound, young Lydia LaBeau and Cousin Ruth Echland arrive uninvited to help unravel the mystery. However, Lydia becomes interested in birdwatching with her new friend. Ruth, undercover as a Miss Texas contestant, grows too involved in the pageant to focus on the investigation. To make matters worse, a dead body is found in Sydney’s apartment, and Lydia disappears. Yet hope appears in the form of a mermaid and a Bible-thumping zealot.
Will the real Sydney Lockhart please stand up?
