About This Book
A quartet of adventurous boys aboard a speedy motor launch set out on a summer outing that quickly turns into a sequence of mysteries and dangers around a remote island. They encounter a strange house, cryptic letters, and suspicious characters linked to illicit activity across a contested shoreline, and they face nighttime searches, a lost skiff, a sinking boat, and dramatic rescues. Clues and signals propel their pursuit of those responsible, testing resourcefulness and courage while underscoring a clear moral about the consequences of fraud and lawbreaking. The story balances brisk action with steady ethical purpose and a tidy resolution.
