Mask of Scarlet

But he's also not one to turn down easy mazuma. So when one of Innsj by's richest young sheiks hires him to find his so-called true love - a girl he's met only once at a masked party - Bastian is on the case. After his last few high-risk adventures, he's ready for a job where the most difficult part will be collecting his payment. Sure, all he has to go on is a guest list and a description . . . but how hard can it be?

Of course, easy money always has a catch, and what should've been a simple search turns out to be anything but. Everyone seems to have their own opinion on who this mystery girl should be, whether or not it matches reality, and even the Families are getting involved. To make matters worse, Dayo is acting cagey, and Bastian doesn't know why.

Bastian's business is the truth. But what can he do when everyone around him has already decided what they want the truth to be? Find out in this Jazz-Age take on "Cinderella," book three of the Bastian Dennel, PI mysteries!
