The Hal Keen series was a entry in the already crowded boys fiction field of the 1930s. What makes the Hal Keen books different is that they are considerably darker than other series. People are not only killed, they are murdered. The stories have a noir feel even though they are not urban in setting. This story is a good one involving a lighthouse off the New England coast, a "mentally defective" youth and a notorious event that once occurred at the lighthouse.
