Gr 10 Up—Natural sleuth Claire Abbott returns in Playing with Fire. With her "radar for crime," she thinks she knows the identity of the town arsonist but encounters doubt and danger at every turn. In I.O.U. Dead, Keno Kalder runs into trouble while working as a slumlord's rent collector. What started as blackmail escalates quickly when someone is murdered. Peter Strand intends to stay out of the murder that got him hired at The Blue Dragon apartment building. When he finds out one of the tenants is the killer, however, Peter unlocks the Blue Dragon's secrets, and some of his own. This gritty Orca series provides entertaining, accessible mysteries for teens 16 and up who are reading at elementary levels.
