About This Book

Four young friends set out on a motoring holiday only to have their car vanish from a lonely country road, forcing them into a cross-country search. Their inquiries take them to police stations, automobile clubs, and private detectives, and a series of clues links their loss to other stolen machines and to a plot involving kidnappers. Through observation, quick travel, and cooperative problem-solving they uncover hidden motives, free a captive, and recover the vehicle. The plot combines mystery, practical ingenuity, and the camaraderie of companions navigating the risks of early automobile travel.
