In mid-1944, a half-million German prisoners of war are working in
U.S. factories and fields because military enlistments and the
draft have caused labor shortages. Two hundred PWs are billeted in
an old Civilian Conservation Corps camp on Muskrat Island in the
Minnesota River at New Bonn. Twelve-year-olds, Frank Warner, Jack
Steiner, and Skeeter Stark stake out the PW camp from an abandoned
cabin along the river. Frank's and Jack's dads are serving with the
3rd Infantry Division in Italy. Skeeter's brother is an Army Ranger
in France. Frank and Jack are Boy Scouts, and fluent in Morse Code;
however, a series of mysterious radio messages intercepted in that
format baffles them. The boys build a raft and land on the island.
They encounter a PW who drops a matchbook cover, on the back of
which are printed the following strange words and numbers: KAISER
BRIGHTMAN 082314. Frank and Jack witness the shooting death of a PW
in the camp. When news of the killing is not made public, Frank
approaches a U.S. Army lieutenant from the camp. His name is
William Brightman, and he was born on August 23, 1914. The boys
decipher the Morse Code messages, which reveal a Nazi conspiracy of
murder and sabotage that imperils many lives, including theirs.
