The Mystery of the Barina Ruby Gary Luis

Written for teen and adult readers. Tommy and Carl, Brothers, ages 13 and 22, get caught up in mystery, intrigue and danger as they try to locate a ruby ring stolen from an elderly, widowed, friend - Lady Hamilton. To find it has been Carl's obsession for several years - and he has good reason to be the one who should find it. He doesn't let his fall from a building, which severely injured his leg when he was a teenager, interfere with his relentless search from one end of the city to the other. He works in a pawnshop by day and night he is a . . . well, that would just give too much of the story away. Let's just say he isn't what he appears to be to his friends and acquaintances or even to his family. Within the pages the reader will find excitement, good detective work, and lots of good hearted, humorous, give and take between the brothers.
