Showing results for "The Piper" in Mystery & Suspense

Piper never asked to be recruited into a rooftop chase across the city, but when a pirate-mouthed parrot named Captain Claw crash-lands into her life, she finds herself caught in a whirlwind of clues, riddles, and high-flying escapades. One moment she is doing homework, the next she is leaping from building to building, dodging flapping feathers, and unlocking hidden messages that point to something far bigger than she ever imagined. The Parrot Code is no ordinary puzzle. Somewhere in the city, a secret is ticking toward disaster, and only Piper and Claw stand between chaos and safety.

Penny-Ann Piper is back, armed with attitude—not to mention a pea shooter, lockpicks, mini-binoculars, and a flashlight that may or may not have batteries. This time she’s after Maura Alva, daughter of the local taxidermist, who pranked the island’s oldest, most beloved resident, and caused her to break a leg. Maura took off, and Penny’s going to find her and make her pay! Staggering knee-deep through the world of preserved animals, Penny-Ann traipses through swamps, creepy houses, and cemeteries, with her pal Diamond De Luca at her side. And this time Rocco Garcia joins in.
