When
Ken
and
his
pal
Sandy
Allen
board
the
freighter
Helen
Rogers,
their
prospects
of
becoming
involved
in a
mystery
are
pretty
remote.
The
long-anticipated
trip
to
Europe,
where
they
are to
join
Ken's
father,
a
famous
foreign
correspondent
for
Global
News
Service,
is
supposed
to be
a
well-earned
vacation
for
the
boys.
But
just
when
it
seems
that
nothing
can
possibly
upset
the
relaxing
routine
of the
Helen
Rogers,
Ken
and
Sandy
receive
a
radio
message
from
Global
News
and
abruptly
find
themselves
involved
in a
crime
committed
over a
thousand
miles
away.
Before
they
are
fully
aware
of it,
the
boys
are
matching
wits
with
one of
the
wiliest
adversaries
of
their
experience
- a
criminal
clever
enough
to
discredit
every
move
the
boys
make.
In
an
exciting
climax,
deep
in the
ship's
cargo
hold,
Ken
and
Sandy
discover
almost
too
late
that
their
quarry
is as
ruthless
as he
is
clever.
Their
very
lives
are at
stake
when
the
boys
face a
man
determined
to let
nothing
interfere
with
the
success
of his
evil
plans.
For
those
who
enjoy
a
suspenseful
thriller,
The
Mystery
of the
Shattered
Glass
makes
fascinating
reading.
