The Mystery of the Third Lucretia

My name is Kari Sundgren. This story is about how my best friend Lucas and I got mixed up in a big, international art crime, and all the adventures we had doing it. Lucas is Lucas Stickney. She's a girl.

"Kari’s authentic narration, her strong realistic friendship with Lucas, the cosmopolitan settings, and the carefully plotted mystery combine in a winning read that ends with the suggestion of continued adventures."
- Booklist and Book Links (Starred review)


"Lots of action, authentic emotions, friendship strains, mother-daughter conflicts ... Runholt gets it all just right in this novel."
- Kliatt (Starred and boxed review)
"Runholt delivers a crackingly good mystery, complete with smart and savvy heroine, a long-lost Rembrandt painting (or is it?) and enough wonderful background info on great art and art-museum cities to fill a guidebook.  I couldn't put it down!"                                   - Book Sense Picks, Summer 2008       
"Mystery fans will enjoy this clever, engaging story."
- Kirkus
