“A flash of lightning flooded the tunnel, blinding me. Tars filled my eyes and I blinked away a school of white halos to regain my vision. As it started to return, I saw in the doorway the silhouette of two skinny legs and a scallop-trimmed nightdress, blacked out against another dazzling burst of lightning. Whoever it was, was jerked to the side, pulled hard by someone I couldn’t see, and then the door slammed.”
Suzanna Snow, Zanna to her friends, would like to be a detective like her uncle Bruce. When one of the guests at the hotel Rosemont (where her father is the manager) disappears during a storm, Zanna thinks she may have seen her in the servant’s tunnel. Even though no one else sees the clues Zanna does, her friends Isaac and Will believe in her intuition and she eventually solves the mystery.
