Ruby Redfort #1: Look into My Eyes

Hey, buster! Is life a total yawn? Break out of boredom with Ruby Redfort. The tough-cookie sleuth who makes Nancy Drew look like a crybaby. Want to know more? Of course you do, bozo. So here’s the lowdown. She’s a genius code-cracker, super sleuth and gadget-laden special agent. Her skills are sizzling hot, but she always stays ice-cool in a crisis! In this first mission, a hush-hush job leads Ruby into deadly danger. But if those dumb crooks think they can mess with Ruby, they think wrong. Ouch.
