PREFACE

I wrote this book out of inspiration from the numerous literary works I have read. I hope this serves as a token in support of the development of literary work, especially in the young. It has been a wonderful experience watching the characters take up a responsibility and pursue it to a logical conclusion. The book is laid out in two parts.

Part 1 deals with the exploits of four teenagers who would unravel the activities of underworld criminal network in their quest for solving a mystery. Part 2 deals with kidnapping.

Enyo gracefully provided graphic illustration of some important scenes.

I hope you enjoy reading this book.
