About This Book

A young adventurer, his father and two companions discover that the treasure boxes aboard their ship hold only junk and set out to follow clues to a tropical island. Their investigation uncovers a pawnbroker using an alias, schemes to seize the hoard, and a risky plot that leads to storms, shipwreck and days adrift on the Pacific. Encounters with hostile islanders, capture in a royal compound, poisoned darts, daring escapes and clever counterplots drive a sequence of rescues and discoveries that gradually reveal the treasure's whereabouts and the conspirators' fate.
