Hurricane heist [electronic resource]. James Ponti.
A New York Times bestseller! When a hurricane uncovers new information in a cold case, the Sherlock Society investigates a decades-old heist in this "engrossing" ( Kirkus Reviews ) second book in the hilarious, New York Times bestselling Sherlock Society middle grade series from Edgar Award–winning author James Ponti! When a category three hurricane hits Miami Beach, it uncovers a body buried at the renowned Moroccan Hotel. The body is identified as the man who served as the hotel's bell captain sixty years ago...and the presumed culprit of the million-dollar jewel heist that took place just before his disappearance. Since the bell captain clearly didn't take off with the goods as had been long believed, the Sherlock Society sets their sights on uncovering the real culprit of the theft with some help from Alex and Zoe's grandfather, who was friends with the bell captain back in the day, and some retired federal agents from the local olds folks' home. But when the thief may also be implicated in the bell captain's murder, even sixty years later, there are people who want the truth to stay buried.
