Mamie Mason isn't enthusiastic when Bert, her husband of thirty years, persuades her to join him on an African cruise. Bert might be pining for adventure, but Mamie's perfectly content with her comfortable life in Hills Corners, Ohio. But once the couple board the glamorous SS Columbus, Mamie has to admit - much as it pains her - that Bert was right. Swimming in the pool, dancing under the stars, their own bedroom steward to serve their every whim . . . Mamie settles in and prepares to thoroughly enjoy all the sights that Africa has to offer, in the company of a motley collection of eccentric first-class passengers. Then Mamie witnesses something shocking - and her vacation takes a twist that neither she nor Bert could ever have predicted. Far from home, with a killer in their midst, the couple's only choice is to turn detective. But surrounded by Nazis, spies and passengers with secrets, how can they uncover the killer - enjoy their vacation of a lifetime - and make it back to Ohio alive?"--Publisher marketing. 650 0 $a Americans $z Africa $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Married people $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Ocean travel $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Murder $x Investigation $v Fiction. 651 0 $a United States $x History $y 1933-1945 $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781448310166 941 $a 4 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305022150.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230708011529.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20230502010904.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230502010440.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6F633AD6DDAE11EDB031D5162DECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IW3Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
