Roller Girl George Butler

Eliza Menardi stumbles out of an alleyway behind a diner in Santa Monica, collapses and dies in the arms of her childhood friend, Tiffany Beals - beaten to death by an unknown assailant. When the police fail to obtain any leads as to why Eliza died and who killed her, Tiffany consults the help of next-door neighbor Dr. Donovan Gentling, an eccentric, amnesiac inventor who serves as the story's narrator and has his sights set on a beautiful reporter covering the tragedy. With a pair of roller skates, a disguise, and Dr. Gentling's amazing gadgets, she unearths a scandal involving her school's faculty and student body and some of Santa Monica's well-to-do citizens. The world had better make way for the advent of Roller Girl!
