Tad Harper is determined to find out the truth behind Mr. Gorham’s tragic past, no matter what it takes
Tad Harper believes all orphans develop a sixth sense that tells them when something bad is going to happen. But that doesn’t mean he’s prepared to spend the summer with Martin Gorham, an old friend of his grandfather’s. And since refusing would mean losing his scholarship at school, Tad has no choice. He arrives at Mr. Gorham’s spooky mansion a few days later, but the only people there to greet him are the servants. When he finally meets the old man, Mr. Gorham makes it clear that he doesn’t care what Tad does as long as he stays away from him. With no friends and nothing to do, Tad knows it’s going to be a long, miserable summer.
Then he meets Karen Nelson, a girl who lives across the harbor. With Karen to hang out with, Tad thinks the summer might turn out better than he thought. But he soon discovers that Mr. Gorham has a tragic past—and that somehow, Karen is connected to it.

Born in New York City, Robert Newman (1909–1988) was among the pioneers of early radio and was chief writer for the Inner Sanctum Mysteries and Murder at Midnight—forerunners of The Twilight Zone that remain cult favorites to this day. In 1944 Newman was put in charge of the radio campaign to reelect Franklin D. Roosevelt. He was also one of the founding members of the Radio Writers Guild, which became the Writers Guild of America.
In 1973 Newman began writing books for children, most notably the Andrew Tillet, Sara Wiggins & Inspector Wyatt mysteries. The series takes place in Victorian London and follows the adventures of two teenage amateur detectives who begin as Baker Street Irregulars. Newman has also written books of fantasy, among them Merlin’s Mistake and The Testing of Tertius. His books based on myths and folklore include Grettirthe Strong, and he has published two adult novels.
Newman was married to the writer Dorothy Crayder. Their daughter, Hila Feil, has also published novels for children and young adults. Newman lived his last days in Stonington, Connecticut.
