Charles Oliver Jones fancies himself a private investigator and, in fact, he has solved a couple of small mysteries, much to the surprise of both his parents and the Chief of Police. But Charlie has also been wearing a trench coat and an old brown felt like the private eyes of old. That has pretty much set him apart from the rest of the kids at school, and as any strange behavior will do, has left him on the outside looking in. But at the beginning of summer a new mystery arises when his next-door neighbor dies and Charlie begins to think she was murdered. He enlists his old friend Pete Heyward to help solve the mystery, but Pete, who is also the starting quarterback, agrees only after Charlie says he’ll give up the hat and coat. Strange things begin to happen. Mobster enforcers turn up and then come the spooks, government men working for obscure agencies, men with strange ideas and even stranger methods. The question is what they are looking for and it’s a question only Charles Oliver Jones can answer.
