Three junior detectives travel abroad to solve a mystery involving a silver spider and a political plot that endangers the life of a young prince. The eighth adventure in Robert Arthur's classic mystery series takes the Three Investigators to the exotic European country of Varania. Their new friend, Prince Djaro, is not permitted to ascend the throne without the historic royal emblem - a silver spider on a silver chain. But it's been stolen by Djaro's enemies! Posing as tourists, Jupiter, Pete, and Bob must find the spider to save the monarchy and see their friend crowned.

A mysterious knife that does its fatal work without the aid of human hands - a murderer who thinks he is Sherlock Holmes and solves his own crime - an embezzler who hides his stolen money and then finds getting it back again is a life's work - a beautiful woman who enters a house on a snowbound hilltop and impossibly vanishes from human ken - these are only four of the unusual and ingenious stories in this book which will delight all readers who enjoy mystery and suspense. As an added dividend, the author has included a section of Notes at the back, which tell how the stories came to be written and will be of exceptional interest to all students of writing. Altogether, a fitting companion to Robert Arthur's Ghosts and More Ghosts, a very popular book with young readers throughout the country.
