It’s about a special someone being kidnapped.
Harrison Beck (Hal) the main character in the story, has to work out who the kidnapper is. In the last book (The Highland Falcon Thief), he solved a mystery which was about stealing. He’s smart, kind and talented at drawing. He solves the mysteries by sketching every little detail of his journey on the train. He has an uncle who helps him solve the mystery. His Uncle Nat has a bunch of watches down his arm so he can tell the time in different countries. He has a friend called Zola who likes Hal’s drawings.
Mason and Hadley are two very smart people. They don’t come in the story until later on. Mason does voice impressions and Hadley does magic tricks. They help solve the mystery with Hal and Uncle Nat.
This girl Marianne, daughter of August Reza, gets taken away. Marianne meets Hal at the start of the story and got in an argument with him for knocking her pens over but later on in the story they became friends. She had a bodyguard called Woody because she’s really rich but when he turned his back on her kabam, she was gone.
I think you should read this story because in this short story there’s just so much action going on.
