Will Martin is fighting a desperate race against time. In two weeks, his father will be hanged for murder--unless 14 year-old Will can prove his innocence. James Martin could give his son only one slim clue. "Find Auld Clootie," he whispered to Will while his guard's back was turned. How hard could that be? Plenty hard: Auld Clootie is a 75-year-old parrot--and she has disappeard. Armed with nothing but his wits and the sickening knowledge of what will happen if he fails, Will sets out on his mission with a heavy heart. But he soon finds there's little time to brood--he's distracted by almost being killed by a stranger. Locked in a life-or-death chase, Will knows the adventure isn't over even if he does elude his pursuer. He still has to unlock the secret--and the curse--of Devil Lake.
Ages 11 and up.
