About This Book

Three schoolfellows row to a secluded river island and, while exploring a ruined riverside estate, uncover mysterious strangers, hidden papers, and violent encounters. Their curiosity triggers reconnaissance, ambushes, the capture of an intruder, the discovery of a prisoner and stolen documents, and a sequence of small-scale skirmishes and countermeasures as they try to expose and frustrate a covert plot. Action moves between river, wood, and underground settings, and the young men depend on quick thinking, local allies, and improvised tactics to confront danger, settle accounts, and bring events to a measured conclusion.
