From the back of the book: "Uncle Oscar was one of a kind. His dusty antiques shop, The Green Vase--nestled in San Francisco's historic Jackson Square neighborhood--was like his own personal museum to the Gold Rush era. Needless to say, I was shocked when he was found dead in his shop, and even more surprised to discover he'd left the venerable establishment to me!

I had no sooner started exploring the shop's fascinating array of curios and novelties--along with my two cats, Rupert and Isabella--than I began to meet a motley crew of Uncle Oscar's former associates, all of whom seemed deeply interested in the shop and its hidden secrets. Before long, I learned my inheritance included all sorts of clues Uncle Oscar had left behind--a peculiar key, a trap door, a puzzling map..."

I was forced to buy this book at my neighbor's garage sale when her cat, who looks not unlike Rupert, plopped down right on the sidewalk in front of me and refused to let me pass with out a purchase. He had sized me up well, as I am a soft-touch for both cats and mysteries. This particular one has an interesting setting and a somewhat gothic air, complete with secret tunnels and mysterious potions.
