The latest in author Rod Lewin's Mitch Blaine and Beyer series, The Missing Mallard Mystery brings readers the duo's most evil and dangerous adversaries, along with their biggest search target: the entire crew of a Grumman Mallard, a historic flying boat, and a magnificent collection of exquisite pearls with a street value of millions of dollars!

As a one-time seaplane pilot working out of Sydney Harbor in Australia, and recent winner of the FAA's prestigious Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award, Lewin is personally familiar with the special skills of both a seaman and an airman as well as the dangers inherent in both roles. In his current role as a storyteller of that life, he crafts novels that are love letters to aviation as well as travel and history and, always, that are full of un-put-downable action, adventure, and humor.
