A former librarian turned private investigator. A witty orange cat. A priceless Easter egg stolen from a museum in a charming seaside town full of secrets.
During Oceanview Cove's annual Easter Fair, the town's prized artifact – a jewel-encrusted golden egg – vanishes from the museum. Deleted security footage, a disabled alarm system, and a mysteriously indisposed guard point to a meticulously planned heist. Jim Butterfield and his feline partner Ginger face their most sophisticated case yet.
As they discover a drone part at the scene, they realize this theft connects to their previous investigation at the boat racing tournament. But when a mysterious ship appears in Oceanview Cove's harbor and Sheriff Miller offers his usual minimal assistance, Jim and Ginger must act quickly. Fortunately, some old friends with a knack for finding hidden treasures arrive in town just in time for the Easter celebration.
Can our detective duo catch the thief and recover the stolen artifact before it's lost for good?
