Summary: Think a baby monitor is just to keep tabs on the baby? That's what Jessie Hanson believes until she hears a sinister conversation coming through her little brother's monitor. Instead of baby chatter, Jessie hears a rough-talking man and a woman with an accent planning a robbery somewhere in her small Nebraska town. Twelve-year-old Jessie, with the reluctant help of her best friend, Tina Adams, decides to track down these thieves before someone gets hurt. Strangers in the Lane is the second in this novella mystery series. Recommended for ages 9-12
