Summary

While escorting Bryn Derwyn Academy's most infamous student downtown to be scared straight by a Federal judge, Ginger Barnes is shocked to find her childhood babysitter, textile professor Charlie Finnemeyer, on trial for fraudulently aging an Oriental rug. Even more alarming, Gin learns that two witnesses against her beloved "Uncle Wunk" suffered suspiciously convenient heart attacks. Eager to assist the professor's attorney, the veteran amateur sleuth pries secret information from a university president and uncovers past transgressions of a TV craft show host, all while acquiring an overnight education in early American textiles from experts at Winterthur and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Others guilty of questionable behavior: two antique dealers, and Charlie's overprotective wife. Still, damning evidence can't be swept under a rug. Before Gin can persuade anyone else that Charlie is innocent, she must first convince herself
