The White Russian Caper: A Damien Dickens Mystery

Chapter One

I was on my way out the door when the call came in. Millie already had left for the day; I covered the distance to her desk in two long strides and grabbed for the telephone. “Dickens Detective Agency,” I announced.

“Is this Mr. Dickens? Mr. Damien Dickens?”

The voice in my ear was vaguely familiar. “Yes,” I replied. “This is Dickens.”

“Oh, Mr. Dickens,” the soft male voice exhaled. “Thank heavens! I didn’t know who to call; then I remembered your visit last year to my establishment. I require your assistance.”

“Who is this?” I interrupted.

“Why, it’s Stephane.” He paused, waiting for my reaction. “Stephane Major, n’est ce pas? Don’t you remember me?”

I recognized the voice then. It belonged to the General Manager of Boardwalk Hall, the venue of Atlantic City’s crown jewel - The Miss America Pageant. I had met the fussbudgety Mr. Major about six months before, when I was investigating the murder of Celine Sutherland. “Yes,” I acknowledged, though not without some reluctance, “I remember you, Mr. Major.”

“Oh, thank heavens,” I could almost see his hand fluttering against his chest. “Oh, I don’t know what to do. I need your help, Mr. Dickens. About Miss America, n’est ce pas?”

“What about Miss America?”

“She’s missing.” He paused. “You must find her and bring her back.”

THE WHITE RUSSIAN CAPER, the second volume in the Damien Dickens Mysteries series, is now available for pre-order on Amazon.com. It will be released in Kindle format on November 20, 2015.
