About This Book

Linda Carlton, an adventurous young pilot, spends a summer at Green Falls where a flying mishap and the disappearance of a girl trigger a layered mystery. With her friend Dot and a circle of fellow aviators she enters an aerial treasure hunt that leads to encounters with strangers, a haunted house, ghostly rumors, and a tower fire. Episodes of trickery, a telegram, and mountain flights culminate in daring rescues, a hunt for hidden money, and the recovery of the prize. The narrative alternates airborne action, investigation, and teamwork as the characters confront danger and solve the mystery.
