About This Book

A resourceful teenage reporter investigates the unexplained disappearance of a prominent banker and the vanishing of negotiable government bonds. Following clues from the bank to a thatched cottage and local superstitions, she encounters strange phenomena—a wooden doll, whispering walls, a grinning gargoyle, a stolen will, and a ceremonial cave. With friends and pressroom contacts she pieces together scattered evidence, braves a violent storm and hidden stairways, and confronts deception that links the missing man to theft and tangled family secrets.
