It's good luck to find a pearl. Or is it?




Not always.




This one leads to murder.




White witch Penzi Munro thinks herself lucky when she finds a beautiful pearl in her lunchtime oyster. Her friend Izzy suggests they visit the oyster farm from which the pearl came. She has no idea she is launching Penzi and Felix, Penzi's shape shifting bodyguard, on a perilous investigation into the murky history of a region torn by war throughout the ages.




Penzi's self-confidence falters when she stumbles upon a second dead body, but with Felix and her friends Izzy and Garth beside her, she adds the wisdom her lucky pearl brings her to her developing skill as a white witch and surges ahead in her determination to bring the perpetrators to justice.




So, what is the secret of the four nines?
