A children"s mystery... Jeff Quicksolve loved his famous detective father and hoped to follow in his footsteps in some way or other. He enjoyed the attention sometimes, and even the constant questions about the various cases his father had solved, including many he had been involved in himself. He often joked he should be his dad"s press agent. Yet at 15, he was nearly a man himself. At six feet one inch, he was actually an inch taller and lankier than his father. When he and his friend Prissy Powers are kidnapped, they do not know if the kidnappers are looking for ransom or revenge.
