"While this family-friendly book reminds me of the fun of a Hardy Boys mystery, J.D. Howard also weaves a spiritual thread into the narrative that doesn't slow down the action. The Italian setting comes alive as the story unfolds. A great book for boys or anyone who enjoys a tightly plotted, action-packed mystery."
