The Mystery of the Fiery Eye

As the seventh adventure of Robert Arthur’s classic mystery series begins, thirteen plaster busts arrive at the Jones Salvage Yard. Soon, Jupiter begins to suspect they are more than they appear, and after some of them are sold, Pete, Bob, and Jupiter have to track them down and decipher a riddle to help their new British friend August August claim his extraordinary inheritance.

But several dangerous men are also on the trail of the Fiery Eye. Which one of them will get there first - or will the Three Investigators trump them all?

By turns riveting, confounding, and entertaining, The Mystery of the Fiery Eye promises to please not only the existing fan base of The Three Investigators series but a whole new generation of readers who will find in its pages three very different boys whose imagination, courage, and intelligence can remind us that curiosity, perseverance, and rational inquiry are just as vital as friendship and cooperation.

At the end of each Three Investigators book published by Hollow Tree Press are notes written by Robert Arthur's daughter and son-in-law, exploring three subjects connected to the story - in this case, Arthur Conan Doyle and Robert Arthur, Cursed Gemstones, and Sundials - and young readers may want to use these notes as guidelines for further investigation. After all, the motto of The Three Investigators is "We Investigate Anything," and their trademark is “???” - three question marks, taken together.

On the 60th anniversary of the creation of The Three Investigators series, the first-ever English-language e-book editions of Robert Arthur’s novels, as well as the first new English-language print editions in over twenty-five years, stand ready to delight a whole new audience.
