| Summary | "The Mystery of the Iron Box" by Bruce Campbell is a mystery novel written in the mid-20th century. The story centers around two young protagonists, Ken Holt and his friend Sandy Allen, who often team up to solve intriguing cases. This particular adventure kicks off with a puzzling attempt at burglary linked to a seemingly innocuous family heirloom, an iron box, which ignites a series of curious events as they uncover deeper secrets that suggest the box holds more significance than initially thought. The opening portion establishes a festive backdrop with Ken eagerly anticipating the arrival of his father, Richard Holt, from a foreign assignment just before Christmas. As Ken and Sandy bide time at the airport, they reminisce about past adventures and the bond they've forged over shared mysteries. Upon Richard’s return, the arrival of the iron box is innocuous enough, but hints of strange occurrences emerge when Ken hears mysterious clicks and feels drafts in the house, suggesting someone may have attempted to break in. The atmosphere gradually thickens with tension after a fire incident at a nearby jewelry store, prompting the duo to question the box's true value and the motives of those interested in it. This combination of holiday warmth intertwined with budding mystery teases readers into uncovering what secrets the iron box may hold. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
