Dick's been kidnapped, mistaken for someone else, and the Famous Five are frantic! Desperately, they track him down to a sinister old house in the middle of nowhere — and he's safe and well! But just when they thought their troubles were over, the gang find themselves held captive and in terrible danger! Who will come for them now? ———- *A prior editor's comment*: This has been my favourite Famous Five book since I first read it when I was 7yrs old.
