Sandy exerted all the force he could muster
to bend the blade
There is no hint of either mystery or danger in the routine assignment handed to
Ken Holt and his friend, Sandy Allen, one brisk autumn evening. Sandy's father, owner and editor of the Brentwood Advance
has sent them to cover a purely social event –– the annual Halloween party for the employees of the Brentwood Foundry and Casting
Company. Even Sandy, whose nose for mystery can sniff trouble miles away, scents nothing more dangerous in their immediate
future than the possibility of eating too much of the tempting food at the festive buffet supper.
But before the evening is over, Ken and Sandy find themselves agreeing to
match wits with a criminal –– an extortioner who quickly proves himself even more clever than the boys at first suspect, who seems to
anticipate their every move to uncover his identity.
It is only when their lives are in jeopardy that the boys realize their invisible
adversary is as deadly as he is clever. Trapped and helpless, Ken and Sandy face the fact that their enemy will stop at nothing to
ensure the success of his criminal scheme. Readers who relish the chill of suspense and the thrill of mystery will find plenty of both in
The Mystery of the Invisible Enemy.
