Set amidst the glittering enclaves of money, power, and privilege in America's tumultuous Gilded Age, this richly detailed mystery follows private detective Pamela Thompson into an elite world where fortunes are flaunted and scandals are hidden--one body at time. . .

Death Of A Robber Baron

New York City, 1891. In the spirit of Christmas, Mrs. Pamela Thompson has devoted herself to charity work, even taking an orphaned child into her Greenwich Village townhome. Her husband Jack, an ambitious banker, agrees to such generous acts as long as his wife allows him to invest his time--and her trust fund--in more lucrative opportunities. But when he risks their entire fortune on questionable copper stocks, Pamela ends up losing everything: her house, her inheritance, and even her husband. . .

Penniless, Pamela is forced to move into a boarding house in the Lower East Side and accept a position at Macy's--as a store detective. Displaying an uncanny knack for the job, she's asked to investigate a private matter of thievery at a palatial "cottage" in the Berkshires. Ironically, her employer is none other than Henry Jennings, the infamous "Copper King" who sold bad stocks to her husband. But when the filthy rich scoundrel is found dead in his study, Pamela holds herself accountable--for sorting out this whole sordid business of money, motives. . .and murder.

A huge hit for the whole pack
Color: GREEN
​Finding a toy that appeals to multiple dogs with different play styles is tough, but this interactive green goose is an absolute home run. The combination of the crinkle wings and the squeaker keeps them entertained and busy way longer than a standard plush toy. ​Despite the daily thrashing, tugging, and chewing, the durability has been incredibly impressive. It’s the perfect size for larger breeds to grip, yet lightweight enough for smaller dogs to carry around by the neck.

Great toy that's a real hit so far!
Color: YELLOW
This squeaky goose has been a total hit and, more importantly, it actually passed the "German Shepherd test." It is always a gamble with plush toys and large breeds, but this one has stayed completely intact after several play sessions. Even with all the shaking and carrying around, the seams are holding up perfectly and the squeaker is still going strong. The combination of the squeak and the crinkle wings keeps things interesting, and the material feels much more durable than your average stuffed toy. If you have a powerful chewer who still loves a soft toy to carry around, this is a great, resilient option that won't fall apart immediately.

The cutest softest, quack, quack
Color: PINK
My seven year-old full octane energy 12 pound dog is obsessed with ducks every toy that she’s ever gotten really attached to has been a duck and I bought the same exact up from a different store at least a dozen times because she was obsessed with it. But as soon as she would get the noisemaker out of it, it was time for anyone. But it was so cheaply made I decided to start getting her different ducks that were supposed to be harder to destroy, and we still have a graveyard of destroyed ducks. But this one she doesn’t wanna destroy it. It only has one little squeaker is what I call it so she doesn’t care to try to tear it open and take it out. The material is extremely lush and soft and it is incredibly adorable. I don’t really know what makes it an interactive toy though, but I recommend it.

Puppy destroyed in days
Color: PINK, Color: PINK
My 5 1/2 month old Maltese destroyed this toy in a few days so I would definitely say it is not chew resistance.
