From the cover: Fred is a mermaid. But stop right there. Whatever image you're thinking of right now, forget it. Fred is not blonde. She's not buxom. And she's definitely not perky. In fact, Fred can be downright cranky. And it doesn't help matters that her hair is ocean colored. Being a mermaid does help Fred when she works at the New England Aquarium. But, needless to say, it's there that she gets involved in smething fishy. Weird levels of toxins have been found in the local water. A gorgeous marine viologist wants her help investigating. So does her mer person ruler, the High Prince of the Black Sea. You'd think it would be easy for a mermai to get to the bottom of things. Thank again . . .
