About This Book

A blind man guided by a specially trained dog and a youth partner investigate a series of small-town mysteries involving hidden compartments, thefts, and suspicious automobiles. The book begins with a practical account of guide-dog training and then proceeds through episodic cases—theft in the rain, voices in the night, an enigmatic group of four, and a house concealing danger—each built from clues gathered by listening, memory, and close observation. Cases interlock as seemingly minor incidents reveal wider deception, and teamwork, patience, and practical sleuthing bring confrontations that expose wrongdoing and resolve the puzzles.
