This latest Robin Paige book is one of her best. The usual twists and turns in the plot line are there, with this book centering around the new "wireless" technology being developed by Marconi. Kate and Charles go to the Lizard, which is a southern section of Britain, right on the English Channel. Charles is to do some detective work to figure out who is responsible for the sabotage of the equipment, not to mention two deaths of employees. Kate visits a young widow who is a friend of Patsy Marsden who also lives on the Lizard. This poor lady has just lost her only child in a death by drowning and is of course having difficulty with her grief. She also wants to find out the truth about how this happened to her little one. Patsey immediately wants Kate to help her solve this mystery. "Soon of course it seems clear that the drowning and the dirty tricks at the wireless station are connected to an enigmatic stranger - and to foreign espionage, malicious intrigue, and inexplilcable messages sent out of the blue..." (from the front cover.) An excellent read!
