The Midnight Silhouette

By JP Dumas

When the town's most trusted face hides the darkest secret, two kids become the only thing standing between a quiet village and a stolen past.

When a routine Friday night sleepover in the Scottish Highlands is interrupted by a hooded figure breaking into an elderly neighbor's cottage, twelve-year-old Aiden and his best friend, Iain, expect a standard burglary. Instead, they peer through the window to discover the town's mild-mannered postman, Mr. Henderson-miraculously free of his usual limp-rifling through a hidden floorboard for an ancient leather journal.

When Aiden and Iain follow him into the ruins of St. Jude's Chapel, they uncover a terrifying conspiracy: Mr. Henderson isn't just stealing family heirlooms; he's hunting for the legendary, lost Wallace Glen hoard for a mysterious, high-tech buyer. With less than twenty-four hours before the drop at the abandoned pier, the boys must use their wits, walkie-talkies, and sheer courage to outsmart a ruthless criminal before he vanishes with the town's history forever.

Packed with high-stakes midnight stakeouts, breathtaking chases through old railway cuttings, and unexpected underground vaults, The Midnight Silhouette is a thrilling middle-grade mystery about ordinary kids facing extraordinary danger.
