When
Ken
and
Sandy
receive
a fan
letter
from
Timothy
Crandall,
the
world's
youngest
millionaire,
they
could
not
know
what
the
future
held
for
them,
because
of it.
Steve
Granger
and
Richard
Holt
assign
the
two
teens
to
obtain
an
interview
and
photos
for
Global
News.
When
they
arrive
at
Timothy's
mansion
in
Crag's
End,
Long
Island,
the
mystery
begins.
Where
is the
young
recluse
and
what,
if any
role,
do
Ralph
Walsh
and
his
assistant
Brooks
have?
Sandy
and
Ken
theorize
that
Timothy
has
been
kidnapped
and
his
guardians
are
hiding
the
fact,
for
fear
of
harm
to
their
young
ward.
The
fact
that
his
regular
chauffeur
was
replaced,
adds
to
their
conviction.
Following
up
slim
leads,
Sandy
and
Ken
locate
Timothy
in a
dingy
area
of New
York
City.
There,
the
desperate
lad
tosses
them
his
grinning
tiger
amulet,
the
same
kind
the
boys
had
mailed
him,
in
appreciation
of his
fan
letter.
However,
they
are
captured
by
Andy
and
Jerry,
the
guards
of the
kidnapped
youth.
Utilizing
Sandy's
brawn
and
Ken's
smarts,
they
escape,
only
to
find
Timothy
gone.
Clues
point
to Ice
Creek,
a
desolate
area
of
Long
Island.
There,
Timothy
and
his
governess
are
found
and in
dire
straits.
In a
desperate
battle,
Sandy
and
Ken
triumph
and
the
mastermind
is
unmasked.
Looking
back
on
this
case,
the
boys
were
amazed
that
the
amulet
sent
to
Timothy,
would
be
vital
in
solving
the
Mystery
of the
Grinning
Tiger.
