The front flyleaf reads:
"If John had any idea of getting involved in the mystery which surrounded the Carne Cross murder, he was not disappointed. For no sooner did he arrive at Hill House, where he was to spend the summer holidays, than he was helping Jeremy, the boy next door, look for his pony which had disappeared in a very mysterious fashion. Even more mysterious was the fact that they were being watched by a man behind the rocks. Was this connected with the murder? And what of the note in the cave? Was it left by Jones - or Abra? John and Jeremy decide to investigate further, but things become more and more confused. Not until Jeremy is kidnapped does John begin to see things clearly, and it is only then that the mystery of Carne Cross is solved.
Set in the moors of Devon, this is a book you will not want to put down until the very last page!"
