The Mystery of the Screaming Clock

Why would someone want a clock that screams? In the ninth adventure of Robert Arthur's classic mystery series, the Three Investigators have to find out. The answer could help Jupiter, Pete, and Bob free a man who's been wrongfully imprisoned - and time is running out!

Who was the mysterious A. Clock? What does the trail of clues he left behind him mean? And how will a book cipher and a room full of clocks lead to the twisted truth behind this complex and exciting case?

By turns baffling, gripping, and bizarre, The Mystery of the Screaming Clock 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, Art Robberies, Breaking Glass With Sound, and The Golden Age of Radio - 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.
