Tricks, sleight of hand, artful finesse, and old-fashioned hanky-panky are techniques used by ... Wilkie Collins, an international family of covert operatives, ranging in age from fourteen to eighty. The team accepts a new contract: Disrupt the gunrunning activities of Hong Kong resident, Chin Howqua. Meanwhile, the town of Boltwood is abuzz with gossip. A mysterious rosewood box filled with artifacts from the China Trade Era has been discovered. Wilkie Collins' youngest recruit, Gee Wiley, traces the provenance of the items. What he discovers leads to murder and high-jinks from the Far East to Timbuktu. Not to be outdone, the senior members of the team watch for nefarious characters as they sell antiques and participate in the revival of the famous mystery/comedy, Arsenic and Old Lace.

Anna Massengill: Storytelling is a part of my life. When I was a small child, I listened to the 'old-timers' as they reminisced about their ancestors. As a teacher, I used embellished versions of their experiences to generate interest in history and English. Obviously, my students got the message. Today, my Facebook page is full of their stories, which cover a spectrum of topics from profound to profane. Prior to retirement, my writing was limited to personal journals or work-related projects. Now the genie is out of the bottle. My stories incorporate global settings where I have lived with what if scenarios, peopled by characters whose interests reflect those of my family and the people I've met. I'm sure you'll quickly realize that the matriarch of the Wilkie Collins gang bears a strong resemblance to me, the Granny Clampett of the Massengill Clan.
