About this ebook

Winner of the Edgar Award for Best Juvenile Mystery

Two friends set out to solve the years-old mystery of a murder, testing their friendship and placing them in danger, in this creepy thriller by suspense master Mary Downing Hahn.

A pair of thirteen-year-old boys investigate the unsolved theft and murder that took place in the old house one boy's family has just moved into. Their quest takes them to the highest and lowest levels of society in their small Maryland town, and eventually to a dark and derelict amusement park where someone will go to any length to shut down their investigation for good.

Themes of adjusting to a new town, navigating complex friendships, and resisting a bully are deftly explored in this eerie page-turner.

Most of Hahn's books contain ghosts, but this one didn't. Also, it never tells you who killed Myrtle Donaldson! Lastly, the summary says, "they find the killer waiting for them." How do we know that if we don't even know who the killer is?
