About This Book

A group of resourceful teenagers and local seamen investigate a mysterious coastal wreck and suspicious activity around a reef. Their inquiry uses stakeouts, small-boat outings, careful clue-gathering, and questioning of wary townspeople, and it draws in the police and formal hearings. Tension rises through night watches, captures, and a violent struggle at a marsh-side house before missing persons and hidden schemes begin to surface. The plot unfolds in brisk episodic chapters that blend practical seamanship, detective work, and suspenseful action.
