Illustrated by Alice Bush

The second Buckinghams adventure finds Charles Renislau and his parents living in a quiet lost part of the North Yorkshire moors, a few miles from Whitby. Although the solitude is helping his father recover from his ordeal, Charles needs company. Naturally he thinks of his good friends Juliet and Simon Buckingham, and they travel north to the wilds of Yorkshire to join him.
They meet in Whitby, but disaster strikes as Charles' father goes missing . . .
