Each novel follows the adventures of Bob and Jack Golden, brothers from Maine with curious minds and adventurous hearts. Together, often alongside their trusted friend Rex Dale, the Golden Boys use their problem-solving skills and wilderness experience to overcome danger, discover strange places, and grow into fine young men. While fishing on a lake near their family cabin in the woods of northern Maine, brothers Bob and Jack Golden encounter a strange man with an accent. Curious-and a little worried-at first, the boys return to the peace of the great outdoors for a few more hours. That night, however, a man tries to break into their cabin, and after scaring him off with a gun the brothers wait until morning before making their way home to Skowhegan. There to meet them on their arrival is revenue officer Jim Carson, who is desperate for help on a case involving bootleggers from Canada. Eager to get to the bottom of the previous night's mystery, as well as to put their newly invented radio to the test, the Golden Boys agree to help Jim. The ensuing adventure, which involves a vanishing cabin, daring rescues, and abundant danger, the Golden Boys will need their wits about them, as well as to use every skill they can muster. With its brilliant blend of detective and adventure fiction, L.P. Wyman's The Golden Boys Rescued by the Radio is an absolute thrill ride from start to finish. L.P.
