Mystery at the Club Sandwich
by Doug Cushman

Nick Trunk is a detective that works for peanuts and finds things. One day a lady named Maggie Trouble comes into his office and asks him to find her boss’s, Lola Gale, marbles. These marbles are Lola’s lucky marbles, and she really needs them back. She believes that they were stolen from her dressed room at Club Sandwich. The clues that Nick finds are a feather and a peanut butter smudge on the door. The next night he goes to the club and watches as a magician tries to make a peanut butter jar disappear, but a feather appears, instead. Is the magician the thief? Nick also wonders whether the chef might be the thief, as he cooks with the same kind of peanut butter that was in the dressing room. Or is the thief Maggie Trouble? Will Nick Trunk be able to find the thief and return Lola’s marbles to her?
