The Plot Thickens (A Gracie Series)

St. Petersburg, Russia 1958 Nikita Khrushchev, head of the mighty Soviet Union, has a problem. Actually, he has more problems than he can count: rampant bureaucratic inefficiency, low corn production, ingrained police corruption, a slippery KGB chief-and now this: A riotous, file shredding insurrection of rodents at the infamous Kresty prison. The instigator? Why it's none other than Gracie, that jaunty, kind-hearted, intrepid dwarf kangaroo from the thirty-sixth universe. What begins innocently enough as a dream vacation for the 'roo and her steadfast feline companion Gibson, soon turns into a richly imagined romp that takes us from the enchanting streets of St. Petersburg to the glamour of a Van Cliburn piano recital to the creepy corridors of a harsh "rehabilitation" center. Along the way you'll discover a Khrushchev as you never imagined, as well as ride along with Van Cliburn as he takes a midnight train journey into the heart of Russia. It's all here. Candy-colored palaces, rousing music, a host of colorful characters (human and otherwise), treachery and ultimately, thanks to Gracie's determined efforts, justice in a city where beauty and hanky-panky are never far apart.
