When Ken and his pal Sandy Allen board the freighter
Helen Rogers, their prospects of becoming involved in a mystery
are pretty remote. The long-anticipated trip to Europe, where they
are to join Ken's father, a famous foreign correspondent for
Global News Service, is supposed to be a well-earned vacation for
the boys. But just when it seems that nothing can possibly upset
the relaxing routine of the Helen Rogers, Ken and Sandy receive a
radio message from Global News and abruptly find themselves
involved in a crime committed over a thousand miles away.
Before they are fully aware of it, the boys are matching
wits with one of the wiliest adversaries of their experience - a
criminal clever enough to discredit every move the boys make.
In an exciting climax, deep in the ship's cargo hold, Ken
and Sandy discover almost too late that their quarry is as
ruthless as he is clever. Their very lives are at stake when the
boys face a man determined to let nothing interfere with the
success of his evil plans. For those who enjoy a suspenseful
thriller, The Mystery of the Shattered Glass makes fascinating
reading.
