Todd and Laurie’s dad is either on top of the world, taking them

on fun adventures, or down in the depths and sleeping all the

time.

In the middle of the night, he bundles them into the car and drives

them to the Paradise Hotel. He paints a picture of a luxurious

mansion by the sea, but the reality is a rundown dump and the

disappointment means Dad takes to his bed.

Todd and Laurie have the run of the place, and meet Scout, the

daughter of the owner, who tells them about the night many years

ago when a famous novelist vanished from her room on the top floor,

which was locked from the inside… with clues to crack, a mystery

to solve, and Dad to worry about, this holiday is full

of twists and turns.
