This story follows fourteen-year-old Simon Craft, an observant kid who isn't looking for a mystery until a strange moving light inside the abandoned, reputedly haunted Black Briar House sparks his detective instincts.

The mystery wraps up satisfyingly at the local police station, where the kids deliver the undeniable proof to Chief Avery, closing the case
