This is an excellent mystery written for teens but enjoyable for adults too. It's about two orphaned boys who are sent to live with an uncle who is battling with a drinking problem and the loss of his wife. When his friend is brutally murdered, their uncle leaves them a note telling them to go to live with other relatives and leaves town. The boys don't want to be split up, so they stay on in the house alone, letting the people in the town think they're being looked after by someone. The boys attract the attention of the murderer and must use their wits and teamwork to save their lives.
