This distraction, however, does not prevent the teen-age detective from spotting two sinister-looking figures intent on stealing valuable art objects from the burning building. Kay hops into their truck as they drive off. From that moment on she becomes entangled in the weird mystery of the Sacred Feather. Unlike many others in Brantwood, Kay cannot believe the signs which point to elusive Abou Menzel as the firebug menacing her home town. Together with the Worth twins, peppy Betty and dreamy Wilma, Kay sets about using her skills as a detective in an effort to solve this baffling case. Surprises—and danger—are Kay's lot as she digs deeper into the mystery. Among other obstacles, she has to contend with her classmate Ethel Eaton, who is jealous of Kay's popularity at Carmont High School. Ethel tries underhanded tricks in an attempt to throw her rival off the trail, but Kay has many friends to help her. Kay has many thrills as she hunts the leader of a strange cult that worships fire. But Kay is far from discouraged. She has been asked to solve the mystery of the summer resort, and is determined to do it. Mysterious fires have broken out. Valuables have vanished. Weird voices groan after dark, and stealthy shapes follow unwary strollers. \"The Kay Tracey Mysteries were published under the name Frances K. Judd, a house pseudonym of the Stratemeyer Syndicate, a book packager. The series was conceived as a response to the popularity of the Nancy Drew Mystery Stories and likewise features a teenage girl detective. While the original entries in the series lasted only from 1934 to 1942, the books were updated, revised, and have been re-issed numerous times, most recently by Bantam Books in the 1980s, and have been translated into Swedish and French. Many critics see Kay Tracey as markedly inferior to Nancy Drew, but some find the series to be significant as one of a number of series that provided girls with a feminist role model prior to third-wave feminism.\"","brand":"Cupples \u0026 Leon Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":20793849282630,"sku":"2288513","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1232\/9510\/products\/2288513.jpg?v=1571426983","url":"https:\/\/ym-demo.myshopify.com\/products\/the-sacred-feather-kay-tracey-mystery-stories-book-14","provider":"Yesterday's Muse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
