The Auto Boys’ Mystery

A thread of smoke rises from the clubhouse everyone thought deserted. When Paul Jones slips out through its cellar window, someone else vanishes into the dark—and the woods suddenly seem full of secrets.

The Auto Boys’ summer camp lies beside lonely Opal Lake, deep in the northern woods, where fishing and quiet days give way to talk of a stolen twenty-thousand-dollar payroll. Phil Way and his friends are eager to play detectives, but the clubhouse has hidden visitors, their camp has been plundered, and the men hunting the missing money may be dangerous. Then Paul meets Chip Slider, a homeless boy who knows the woods—and knows Murky, a man with a violent interest in the lost cash. Can the boys discover what is happening at the point before Murky finds what he seeks?
