Description: When the valuable Van Camp diamond necklace disappears from the local art museum, the entire Charles family is recruited to recover the missing jewels. Upton's attention to even the smallest detail and his keen sense of smell provide the clues necessary to solve the mystery.
Brief description: In addition to two adult mysteries, Hot Tea...Cold Case and There's Always Tomorrow, D.G. Stern has authored the award winning "Upton Charles-Dog Detective" series for younger readers (www.uptoncharles.com), The Loneliest Tree and 25 Days of a Tropical Christmas. His taste for good wine and great food has been an inspiration in his writings and Mr. Stern is also the editor of Golf a la Carte (www.golfcookbook.com) featuring recipes from some of the nation's greatest golf clubs. D.G. Stern is a graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Law School. Basket weaving (no kidding) and vintage car racing fill any empty moments.
