If you are a fan of the Hardy Boys or enjoy the Sherlock Holmes Trio mysteries, this new series is for you. The cover art is very much modeled after the original Hardy Boys books, with scenes from various adventures scattered across the inside front and back. Steve Brixton dreams of solving the "crime of the century," but little does he know that the crime involves him? Barnett's novel has many twists and turns. Steve is wanted by the government, chased by the police and has a series of misadventures, one after the other. This thriller is hard to put down. What is the clue that Steve will get from a book on quilting? Why is he being accused of treason? Does he have a brother or sister of whom he is unaware? As Steve works to uncover and unravel all of the excitement and clear his name, The Bailey Brothers' Detective Handbook leads the way in the dark. This page-turner leaves you waiting for book 2!
