A PERSONAL NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:

Do you enjoy mystery books? For kids, for adults, for anyone who enjoys the turn of a clue or the thrill of the chase, check out the latest book in this mystery & thriller detective series for teens, young adults, and middle grade readers. It has more action and more suspense than the first book, along with plenty of humor, twists, and even a dash of romance.

Finding good books for boys (and good books for girls) was hard to do when I was a kid, and the situation has only gotten worse. It's not for a lack of books - there are more books for boys (and books for girls) being written today than ever. Nor is it due to a dearth of good writing - today's authors are more talented than ever. The problem lies in what the old blues musicians called soul. Or more specifically, a lack of soul.

In most books for boys being written today, the heroes aren't boys learning how to be men. And without that journey, without that growth, the books are devoid of soul. In the books for girls, the heroines are junior Kardashians, obsessed with appearance and entitlement. I hope you find this book series to be different.

This book is enrolled with the Kindle Matchbook plan. That means if you buy the paperback book, you get the Kindle book for free. I highly recommend this. Even if all you want is the Kindle version, you can give the paperback book to someone for Christmas. Books make great gifts and everyone loves getting books for Christmas

The third book in this mystery series "The Case of the Christmas Counterfeiters" will be out in 2018.
