About this ebook
From the ancient sewers of London to the heights of a barren attic prison, Andrew and Sara race to uncover a wicked plot
Though he’s usually more of a cricket fan, Andrew Tillet would never miss a chance to see American baseball played in London—especially not in the company of his best friends, Sara Wiggins and Inspector Peter Wyatt. And of course it’s nice to bump into Wyatt’s charming sister-in-law, Harriet, on their way home.
When Harriet disappears with nothing but a cryptic note left behind, Wyatt doesn’t seem as concerned as Andrew and Sara think he should be. And when someone else disappears, someone even closer to Wyatt, the clock starts ticking down.

About the author
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.
