Crime Through Time #5: Iced! The 2007 Journal of Nick Fitzmorgan

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 Iced!, Nick Fitzmorgan's father has disappeared, and it takes all Nick's detective skills to decipher the clues he left behind. Before long, Nick is racing up the cold, slippery slopes of Mount Everest to find his father and a missing camera that could solve the mystery of who was really the first person to reach the summit. But can Nick find them before it's too late?
