Sally Jones is my heroine. Determined, highly intelligent, loyal, a ship’s engineer and best friend to “The Chief” Henry Koskela, she also happens to be one extraordinary gorilla. Following on from The Murderer’s Ape, Sally Jones returns to narrate her adventures on the high seas with wonderful illustrated character studies at the front of the book an added bonus. Finding a curious necklace onboard their boat the Hudson Queen, Sally and The Chief embark on a dangerous quest to find the owner. 1930s Glasgow is the first port of call in this rollicking tale which sets Sally up against a ruthless gang of smugglers who fancy the necklace for themselves. This is masterful story telling and readers young and old will feel every ounce of tension along with Sally in this high-stakes mystery.
