About This Book

Two teenage brothers who investigate local mysteries probe a series of thefts and disappearances around their coastal town after a rescue at sea draws them in. Their pursuit uncovers suspicious activity near coastal caves, stolen supplies, and a missing person, leading to storms, cliffside danger, secret hideouts, and a captive who needs rescue. The narrative alternates investigative groundwork, stakeouts, and action sequences—including a nighttime chase and an underwater peril—before discoveries unravel smuggling and reveal the caves' hidden role in the crimes, allowing the community to recover and the endangered to be saved.
