Goldie Vance Book Two

Teen detective Goldie Vance is back on the case in this thrilling two-for-one whodunnit adventure for upper–middle grade readers!

Where sixteen-year-old Goldie goes, mystery follows.

With the Prescription One race in town, Goldie and her biggest rival, Sugar Maple, find themselves in an unlikely alliance to unmask a saboteur before the big event.

Then, the St. Pascal Rockin’ the Beach Music Festival washes ashore plenty of inexplicable shenanigans to keep Goldie’s gumshoe brain busy—from mysterious power outages and missing musicians to Russian spies skulking in the shadows.

This fun, fast-paced read brings more curves than an F1 course, with cozy mysteries readers will want to return to again and again—much like a favorite vinyl record!
