The Case of the Disappearing Dimes
|

|
| Featuring Nina Chase & Max Decker |
How did Nina and Max figure it out?
Downstairs in the parlor, Nina explained. "Why would Mr. Baxter
have even told Dad about the dimes if he had stolen them? And
Fiona's already inheriting a lot of money. But Mr. Baxter said
Harvey wasn't paid much"
"So where are the dimes?" Max asked.
"Right here." Nina pointed at the coffin. "In the painting,
Waldo's cufflinks are green, but I remembered that he was wearing
silver ones."
No one said a word about her sneaking in to see Waldo. Dad
peeled a dime loose, rubbing glue off Mercury's profile.
"Harvey would have retrieved them before he buried the coffin,"
said Baxter. "Clever."
"Not as clever as Nina," Mom said, hugging her.
