Finding the yellow Mercedes wasn’t as easy as Nancy had thought it would be. Reasoning that the most obvious way to get a specific type of car would be to rent one, they started calling rental agencies the next day. It was one dead end after another. Not a single agency had a yellow Mercedes to rent. Even worse, nobody had any idea where one could be found.

It was already the middle of the afternoon, and they had called all the agencies in the phone book. George plopped down on the sofa and sighed dejectedly. “This is nothing but a wild-goose chase,” she said.

Nancy thumbed through the Yellow Pages, thinking. “Wait,” she said. “There’s something we haven’t thought of.”

“What’s that?” Ned asked, coming from the kitchen with three glasses of lemonade.

“What else? A Mercedes dealer!” Nancy exclaimed. “Maybe he’d know.”

George shrugged. “Of course. And there seems to be only one dealer for this whole area,” she said, handing the phone to Nancy.

“A yellow Mercedes?” the manager of the Mercedes dealership said when Nancy reached him. “Actually, it just so happens that I do have one on the lot. It’s probably the only one for sale in Montreal.” He laughed. “Yellow must be a very popular color this year.”

“Really?” Nancy asked, suddenly even more interested. “What makes you say that?”

“Well, yesterday a man wanted to test-drive a Mercedes—but it had to be yellow. He brought it right back after the drive, and he said he didn’t want it. It’s still here and still as beautiful as ever.”

“Hmmm,” Nancy said. “Who was this man? I wonder if I know him.”

“You might,” the dealer replied. “He’s a very influential man in Montreal.”

“Oh?” Nancy sat tensed on the edge of the sofa. “What’s his name?”

“I really shouldn’t say,” said the dealer. “But, oh, well, he was Pierre Cherbourg.”
