A policewoman comes knocking, and the boys learn that they have found a tracker that has been removed from the leg of a golden eagle.

Kit and Jack start to investigate, soon joined by Tamora тАУ the most popular girl in school тАУ and her younger sister, Bea.
Who is trying to harm the eagles, and why? Chief suspects are landowner Lord Cavendish, local farmer McNab and sinister game keeper Mosby . . . Can the city kids cope with the country тАУ and catch the culprit?
