5.0 out of 5 stars A Mysterious Rescue Mission, January 21, 2005

(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Ricky Kidd is sure the phone call was a prank until late that night. It's after he recognizes the voice that he knows it was Brother Phillip giving him a strange cry for help. But what did the message mean?

Convincing his family and friends to head to New York on their Thanksgiving break was only the first part of the battle. Arriving on the scene, Ricky quickly discovers that Brother Phillip died in a fire at his mission. But the fire was before the phone call. What could it mean? And when Brother Phillip shows up that night, Ricky's even more confused. The more he investigates, the more the tangled web gets. Can Ricky and his friends cut through the blackmail, arson, and greed to figure out the truth?

First, a word of warning. This is the only book in the series that is a true sequel. You need to read LOST BENEATH MANHATTAN first to fully understand this book. Many of those characters are back for this book.

Having gotten that out of the way, this book is incredible! The clues are so well hidden, even knowing where they were, I missed a couple of them. The plot moves quickly, weaving such a tangled web it's hard to believe things will work out for anyone.

There does seem to be a bit of an editing problem near the beginning between this book and the original edition, but it's minor. And once the story gets going, hold on!
