[The Adventures of Jack Cannon: Kid Detective 02] • The Adventures of Jack Cannon (Kindle)

As Halloween approaches, a new adventure unveils itself to Jack Cannon and his detective friends. A dark manor, a terrifying island and an old folklore about a local boy’s disappearance present themselves as one challenge after another for the young detective. Each alone is enough to send chills down the spines of many, but Jack is drawn in by the unsolved mysteries and when he discovers an old treasure map, the dots are connected that lead him toward the adventure of a lifetime.

While Jack becomes obsessed with solving his various mysteries, his father and grandfather are dealing with the realities of a bloated mortgage and drowning debt. Their home has become at risk and the lines begin to blur between Jack’s investigation and solving his family’s financial woes. But his determination is seen as a concern to Teddy and Veronica who attempt to sway him away from the dangers that reside on the horizon. A strange cast of characters loom: two thugs with bad intentions, a ghostly figure, a crazed monster-like man, an old witch and a villainous bank manager.

At school, another figure poses a social threat to Jack and his friends in the form of a transfer student named Philip LaFleur. Short, devious and posturing a French accent, Philip aligns himself with Jack’s enemies; the bullies who torment he and Teddy.

While the detective’s social lives become more difficult in the halls of their school, Jack frenetically drives forward to solve his town’s greatest unsolved mystery while attempting salvage his home. Jack risks everything to save his family and friends while facing his greatest fears and the town’s darkest secrets along the way, in this, the second Jack Cannon Adventure!
