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, two witnesses against her dear "Uncle Wunk" have suspiciously died.Eager to assist in Charlie's defense, 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, the damning evidence against Charlie can't be swept under a rug. Before Gin can persuade anyone else he's innocent, she must first convince herself.
