About This Book

A group of young women working in a large department store become embroiled in a mysterious chain of clues after one employee notices a needle-pierced page threaded with a crimson strand and glimpses a striking customer wearing a dragon-ringed finger. Their investigation unfolds through encounters with a picture girl and a mysterious lady, daring flights, disguises, physical dangers including an icy plunge, and a scramble over treasure hinted by a silver-gray object. Loyalty, quick thinking, and cooperative sleuthing gradually unravel the puzzle, and a final revelation about a brown bag resolves the central secret.
