Black Ship by Carola Dunn
3.0
Daisy & family have moved into a new, large house that Alec inherited from an unknown great-uncle. While they are making preparations for the move and old acquaintance from America turns up in need of help. Agent Lambert, now working with the Treasury Dept to stop people smuggling booze into the US, has had his papers & money stolen and has turned to the Fletchers as the only people in the UK he knows.
The Fletchers' new neighbors, the Jessups, are wine merchants who do have dealings with US bootleggers. Their younger son has been in the US to arrange shipments & the day after he returns a body is found in the park in front of the Fletchers' home. Lambert has disappeared. The Jessups' eldest son has suddenly left town.
Alec & Daisy investigate.
It's a decent story but not one of my favorites
