The Mystery of the Escaped Prisoner (The Mystery #10) by Paul Moxham
This story starts out when the kids are on summer break and just playing at the beach when they notice a man that avoids them while they are walking.
Joe seems to think he knows him and he does, after climbing to the top of the castle for a closer look. It's Boris and he's not in prison any longer.
They do reach up with him when he's being chased by One Arm and another man and they aide him into escaping from them. They bring him to their house and all the kids hear why he is not guilty of the crime he was in jail for.
He has to get to his sister Olga as she has proof about the blueprints that were stolen. There are many suspects and the kids and others like Quigley help him to find Olga.
There are other mysteries along the way that include guns and I find it very scary, even for me because they are just kids.
There are plane rides and boat rides, etc. Love hearing of the Scotland land and sights to see and explore.
Things get complicated and they don't know who to trust...
Such a fun exciting book for any age. Can't wait to read more. Think I've now read all of them up to date... ( )
