Ken and Sandy were held rigid by the
terrifying sight.
When Ken Holt and his friend, Sandy Allen, decided to visit an archaeological
dig in the small town of Gallows Cliff, Arizona, they expect to encounter nothing more dangerous than a few stone tools left behind
by ancient cave men who lived a hundred centuries ago.
But before their stay is twenty-four hours old, they make the startling discovery
that the sleepy little village of Gallows Cliff is an important way station in a vicious smuggling operation that threatens to drag both
Mexico and the United States into some international unpleasantness.
Working feverishly to find the border leak that has so far defied detection by
skilled investigators, Ken and Sandy soon begin to realize the crafty ability of the smuggling ring. Outwitted at almost every turn, the
boys are ready to admit defeat when they hit on an idea that leads them to the ruthless criminal brain behind the smuggling operation
–– and into a terrifying trap from which there seems to be no escape.
How Ken and Sandy solve the most complex mystery they have ever faced will
keep the reader taut with suspense until the last page of this spine-tingling, adventure-packed story.
