About This Book

Two young filmmakers travel from desert to shore, capturing Western ceremonies and staged dramas while confronting real danger and daring rescues. After freeing rival cameramen from hostile attackers and learning a clue about one boy’s missing father, they move on to coastal work that brings lighthouse duty, confrontations with wreckers, a swordfish attack, and a shipwreck. Their footage records mimic fires, sea peril, and an extended pursuit to expose a wrecking ring; the story culminates in the capture of culprits, dramatic rescues, and a renewed investigation that mixes filmmaking, sleuthing, and personal discovery.
