It all starts when Ken Holt and his friend Sandy Allen spot someone trying to
break into their convertible. Quick action on the boys' part scares off the would-be thief before he can do more than slash his knife
into the car's top.
Other things begin to happen –– things that seem to have nothing to do with the
foiled robbery, but which do, somehow, appear to be linked to Ken and Sandy or to something that they mysteriously have in their
possession. But what it is and who their enemies are remain unanswered questions. Ken and Sandy have just one clue: a silver
scorpion cuff link.
It is when the boys are following the cuff-link clue that they are led into a trap
and finally discover why the criminals are after them. But by then it looks as if neither Ken nor Sandy will ever have the opportunity to
reveal this information to the police.
How the boys manage to avoid the fate intended for them makes this adventure
one of the most action-packed and suspenseful they have ever experienced.
For exciting reading, don't miss any of the thrilling Ken Holt mysteries. If you local
