About This Book

Three college-age brothers find themselves embroiled in a struggle to protect a threatened family fortune, leaving campus pastimes and examinations for a summer quest down the coast. Their journey includes a steamer fire, encounters with rivals and traitors, and a sequence of clues that lead from Boston to a coastal island where a cave and a dangerous pool hide crucial evidence. Chases by land and sea, mysterious disappearances, and last-minute revelations push the young men to combine daring, detective work, and loyal friendship to unravel schemes and secure the inheritance.
