The car immediately starts up and drives down the hill until it disappears. The road is deserted under the clear light of dawn. It could have been a bad dream if it weren't for that slight smell of gasoline lingering in the air. And if there wasn't a wet handkerchief lying on the side of the road. Eva-Lotta's handkerchief. When thirteen-year-old Kalle Blomkvist witnesses a terrifying kidnapping in the middle of the night, he knows it's time to put his super-sleuth skills to use again. What he doesn't know is that the trail he's about to follow will lead him on his most exciting adventure yet. ¿Will he be able to outwit a gang of criminals and rescue his friends without being captured? This is the third and final volume of the exciting mystery-adventure trilogy by the great author Astrid Lindgren.
