As they settle into the cottage on the Overlaar estate for their summer vacation, the four friends — Paul, Roger, Herb and Eddie—look forward to a peaceful summer vacation of swimming, biking, hiking, and taking riding lessons on Skippy, Baron Rensdale’s prize horse.
The first few days, however, bring them slashed tires, a mysterious prowler, and a deliberately set grass-fire. Paul suspects the events to be related, and soon the four friends are scouring the estate for clues. Their search turns up a road map which they had lost on their way to the Overlaar estate and a three-fingered glove.
Their detective work leads to a desperate cross-country chase to rescue their old friend from the three fingered villain.

Sir Isaac Newton is one of history's most renowned scientists. He independently developed the mathematical technique known as Calculus, wrote a treatise on the properties of light and color that is still consulted by scientists, and worked out the mathematical details of the law of gravity. What is less well known is the depth of his Christian faith, and the amount of writing, speaking, and research he devoted to defenses of the tenets of Biblical belief. This book makes Newton come alive for readers. From the detailed account of the events that led to his conversion, his Christian faith plays a central role in this biography, as it did in his life.
