About This Book

A group of young detectives, led by Johnny Thompson and joined by Joyce Mills, Drew Lane, Tom Howe, and veteran Newton Mills, confront a series of uncanny occurrences centered on a blinking eye embedded in a wall and other startling electrical devices. Their investigation uncovers thefts, kidnappings, masked assailants, and animated contraptions as a gang and a shadowy Whisperer employ scientific trickery for criminal ends. Through chases, traps, and clever use of the same inventions, the team pieces together clues, confronts the conspirators, and secures the threatened treasures and secrets.
