The Half Doubloon Ronald Wing

The 4th BAY HOLLOW THRILLER finds Skip and Scooter, while skiing down a mountainside, discovering the remains of two bank robbers. During the robbery, 70 years earlier, a coin was taken from the bank's most powerful customer. The one-of-a-kind Half Doubloon is worth millions, but to some, its value is even greater - great enough to kill for its return. Finding the coin, the boys take it to a pawn shop. The unscrupulous owner immediately realizes what the boys have found. Knowing the heirs to the coin would pay almost anything for its return, the shop owner intends on retrieving the coin at any cost. The heirs, however, having a deadly secret they want to keep hidden, send an assassin to retrieve the coin and eliminate all who know about it. At the top of the hit man's list - Skip and Scooter. The Myrtle Beach Sun-News, writes, "THE HALF DOUBLOON IS A FAST PACED THRILLER THAT WILL CAPTIVATE ITS READERS! More twists and turns than a mountain highway and twice the thrills!" Recommended for ages 9-11.
