Hit and Run Holiday — Carolyn Keene

A friend's near-murder plunges Nancy into a dark tangle of clues on Florida's sunny beaches

Sun, surf and boys are all Nancy, Bess and George have on their minds when they cruise into Ft. Lauderdale for a week of fun. But that changes abruptly when their friend Kim, who's been in town for a week already, is struck by a hit-and-run driver--and not by accident.

As Kim lies close to death, Nancy sets out to find the driver. Her only clue is the name "Rosita"--Kim's last word before losing consciousness. Nancy combs the beaches for a face to match the name, but all she finds are handsome guys eager for romance and a jumble of clues that lead nowhere. Suddenly, the would-be killer strikes again. But this time it is Nancy who is wanted dead.
