About this book
Dean Mercer leaves a law office near Lake Seneca with relief and a determination to choose his own future. His parents had favoured legal training, but six months under Russell Montague have convinced him that the work does not suit him. Roy Franklin builds this adventure for young readers around a boy's wish for independence and the dangers that accompany his attempt to make a place for himself.
The story combines lake steamers, missing papers and money, and a prison mystery. In the middle excerpt, Dean and Marcus compare accounts of their capture, while a newspaper brings alarming reports about the steamer Spray and evidence needed in a court case. Dean begins to see how badly his circumstances have been misunderstood.
