Crime Through Time #3: Silenced! The 1969 Journal of Malcolm Moorie

Each book in the "Crime Through Time" series is hosted by a different child member of the famous Fitzmorgan detective family. While the young sleuth unravels a fictional mystery, readers learn about the real historical setting and actual crime-solving methods from the different eras. In sidebar activities, readers take on the role of assistant, helping to crack the case. Breathtakingly suspenseful but never violent and always age-appropriate, the books read like private investigative journals, with photos, maps, news clippings and crime scene sketches.

In Silenced!, Mal Moorie enters a rural boarding school and finds himself caught up in a dastardly plot involving endangered animals and the new pesticide DDT.
