Once again Charles Oliver Jones is smack in the middle of two mysteries, and this time the threat is serious enough to force his father into hiring a security service from Boston, headed by the strange and dangerous Orsen Castonguay. Those of you who have followed Charlie Jones through the first three books will not be disappointed, as this tale fairly bristles with action and suspense.

It starts with a visit from a most astonishing guest: the don of the Boston Mafia who says he has retired to the Vineyard and wants to hire Charlie to protect him from an Amok he claims to have seen in Menemsha. Then suddenly a bunch of “federal” agents turn up trying to recover the papers that belonged to Abby and Henry Waters.

On top of this is the fact that Pete and Charlie are just about to play for the state football championship in their class with a chance to finish the season undefeated.

The excitement and pressure has all the guys ready to run amok. Only Charlie has retained his cool and somehow he has to find a way to get them calmed down enough to play. Even Pete is affected and unless he can get his head into the game, they’re doomed.
