A Mystery in Laguna Woods Professor Alan Dale Dickinson

Seven extremely rare and quite valuable paintings by the old Masters have been stolen from a lovely Laguna Woods Community. The Laguna Woods Village [i.e. LWV] is one of the most prestiegous and exclusive retirement communities in the United States and perhaps the world. The total estimated value of the Works of Art is around One Billion dollars. Our man, Charles "Charlie" Warner Kennedy O'Brien, Private Investigator [or Private Eye as he prefers to be called] is tasked by the excellent property management company [i.e. VMS aka Village Management Services] and the Residents managing committee [e.g. GRF aka Golden Rain Foundation] as well as the FBI and the OCSD [i.e. Orange County Sheriff's Department] to solve this heinous 'While collar' crime. The priceless 'Taken' [stolen] oil paintings are valued at around 'Two Billion' USA dollars.(THIRD EDITION)
