Steve Brixton set out to rescue his hero, the writer MacArthur Bart, from a ruthless crime syndicate.

★ A Junior Library Guild Selection ★

“Barnett’s second Brixton Brothers mystery continues the whimsically sardonic adventures of everyone’s soon-to-be-favorite clueless-yet-earnest boy detective-wannabe. Shot through with moments of goofiness and dotted with Rex’s black-and-white illustrations, this is sure to please existing fans and win new ones.”
