There is no hint of either mystery or danger in the
routine assignment handed to Ken Holt and his friend, Sandy Allen,
one brisk autumn evening. Sandy's father, owner and editor of the
Brentwood Advance has sent them to cover a purely social event -
the annual Halloween party for the employees of the Brentwood
Foundry and Casting Company. Even Sandy, whose nose for mystery
can sniff trouble miles away, scents nothing more dangerous in
their immediate future than the possibility of eating too much of
the tempting food at the festive buffet supper.
But before the evening is over, Ken and Sandy find
themselves agreeing to match wits with a criminal - an extortioner
who quickly proves himself even more clever than the boys at first
suspect, who seems to anticipate their every move to uncover his
identity.
It is only when their lives arc in jeopardy that the boys
realize their invisible adversary is as deadly as he is clever.
Trapped and helpless, Ken and Sandy face the fact that their enemy
will stop at nothing to ensure the success of his criminal scheme.
Readers who relish the chill of suspense and the thrill of mystery
will find plenty of both in The Mystery of the Invisible Enemy.
