Pamela Hillan and Penelope Dyan, lifelong friends who used to like to pretend they were in a Nancy Drew book when they were kids, are back again, all grown up (and then some); and they are still pretending! And this is exactly why the Jan and Jenny books continue to be written and why they began! Penelope Dyan became a teacher, a published writer, a vocalist, and a mother and an attorney, while Pamela Hillan became a mother and a court reporter . . . and then finally, everything went back to what it was before all of that happened; and the Jan and Jenny books were born, beginning with their very first book in this series, "The Mystery On Burgundy Street". It was their combined lifelong experiences, and their great desire to do good in this world, along with their love for the law, and their deep concern for others that led to the creation of this latest book in the Jan and Jenny Mystery Series, and to each and every book in this series! This is the twenty-fifth book in this series; and our heroines, Jan and Jenny (as usual) are out to save the world! This time, they encounter Russian pirates with a sinister plan to overtake the cruise ship on which Jan and Jenny and Jan's mother and father and sister, Cindy, are vacationing. Find out why the Russian pirates want to take over a mere cruise ship, and how and why Jan and Jenny alert the FBI, the CIA, and the Mexican Police as their suspicions hit the mark, and why (this time) Jan's dad becomes involved in the excitement and adventure.
