The Hudson River Mystery
When Trixie sees a shark fin in the Hudson River, no one believes her. Brian's lab partner, Loyola Kevins, suggests Trixie talks to a friend who knows a lot about the Hudson; she tells Trixie and Honey that sharks are quite common in the Hudson. But Trixie has other mysteries to solve. When Brian becomes ill from cyanide poisoning, she makes impulsive accusations about the source of Brian's poisoning, only to find she has jumped to conclusions. Trixie is eager to solve the shark mystery and stop her friends from doubting her, but when she and Honey stumble on the truth they find themselves trapped in a car, sinking in the Hudson River...

Trixie Belden is a vivacious, 14-year-old tomboy who likes nothing better than adventure and solving mysteries. While one might expect her to lead a quiet life living with her parents and three brothers on Crabapple Farm, just outside Sleepyside-on-the-Hudson, New York, nothing could be further from reality! Trixie (short for Beatrix) and her best friend, Honey Wheeler, hope one day to have their own detective agency. As they tackle mysteries that have baffled authorities, the two girl detectives - along with other members of their club called the 'Bob-Whites of the Glen' - are certainly getting plenty of training!
