Balloons Can Be Murder: The Ninth Charlie Parker Mystery (Charlie Parker Mysteries)

Rachael Fairfield is a balloon pilot out to set a world altitude record during the upcoming Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. She's received several threats, though, and wants to hire Charlie and Ron to keep the stalker away from her. It shouldn't be a problem, says Rachael, because she knows who is sending the notes-her own father. Her testimony sent him to prison years ago and now he's out. They agree to take the case, but Charlie begins to suspect that it's not such a simple assignment.
