《珍珠谜案》是莱曼?弗兰克?鲍姆（Lyman Frank Baum，1856－1919）以伊迪斯?凡?戴恩（Edith Van Dyne）的笔名创作的“简姨妈的侄女们”系列之第九部，原名可译为《简姨妈的侄女们在西部》。这一系列的书主要为青少年创作，在当时颇受读者欢迎。
随着时间的推移，简姨妈的三位侄女——贝丝、帕齐和露易丝都在成长的道路上收获着属于各自的快乐与淡淡的烦恼。在这本书中，贝丝、帕齐和约翰叔叔共同来到了加利福尼亚的南部。年纪最大的侄女露易丝和丈夫亚瑟?威尔登搬来与大家共同生活。在聚会上，亚瑟遇见了旧识蒙特罗斯太太和她的两个侄女——莫德? 斯坦顿和弗洛?斯坦顿。在圣塔莫尼卡海滩，勇敢的莫德救起了几乎被海浪吞噬的陌生男孩。从此，大家的生活就与这位名叫A?琼斯的年轻男孩产生了千丝万缕的联系，并卷入了一桩奇特的珍珠谜案之中。

As he spoke a boy approached and handed Le Drieux a telegram.
"Excuse me," said he, and opened it with an important flourish. The next moment his face fell. He staggered and sank half fainting into a chair which Mr. Merrick pushed toward him.
Patsy ran for some water. Maud Stanton fanned the man with a folded newspaper. Arthur Weldon picked up the telegram which had fluttered from Le Drieux''s grasp and deliberately read it. Then he, too, sank gasping into a chair.
"Listen, girls!" he cried, his voice shrill with emotion. "What do you think of this?
"''Jack Andrews arrested here in New York to-day by Burns detectives. Countess Ahmberg''s collection of pearls was found in his possession, intact. Return here first train.''
"Signed: ''Eckstrom & Co.''"
There was a moment of tense silence.
Flo clapped her hands.
"Come on," she shouted in glee , "let''s go and tell Ajo!"
