description: Thanks to their recent success, Rose's detective agency is finally doing well. Then they meet Miss Mildred Gorham whose older brother, Clyde, has vanished. It seems a straightforward case, but it doesn't take long for Rose and Will to realize that something is very odd in the Gorham house. A string of recent vandalisms has Rose's father, the chief of police, and his prot�g� Calvin Lloyd scratching their heads. While Rose is always glad to see more of Cal, his romance with Blanche Cotter is most unwelcome.
