"Stay here and watch where he goes,"
Sandy whispered
When Ken and his pal Sandy Allen board the freighter Helen Rogers,
their prospects of becoming involved in a mystery are pretty remote. The long-anticipated tip to Europe, where they are to join Ken's
father, a famous foreign correspondent for Global News Service, is supposed to be a well-earned vacation for the boys. But just
when it seems that nothing can possibly upset the relaxing routine of the Helen Rogers, Ken and Sandy receive a radio
message from Global News and abruptly find themselves involved in a crime committed over a thousand miles away.
Before they are fully aware of it, the boys are matching wits with one of the
wiliest adversaries of their experience –– a criminal clever enough to discredit every move the boys make.
In an exciting climax, deep in the ship's cargo hold, Ken and Sandy discover
almost too late that their quarry is as ruthless as he is clever. Their very lives are at stake when the boys face a man determined to
let nothing interfere with the success of his evil plans. For those who enjoy a suspenseful thriller, The Mystery of the Shattered
Glass makes fascinating reading.
