 4 The Case of the Restless Gargoyle
A Short Preview By John Crow
Greetings mystery lovers!
It gives me great pleasure to introduce another spinetingling
tale starring those cunning young sleuths known as The Three
Investigators.
For those who don’t remember who I am, let me just say that
I am a mystery novelist by profession. The boys and I first met
several months ago when they traveled to my hometown of Santa
Barbara, California to uncover the secret of Shark Reef. As a
favor to the boys I agreed to introduce their last case:
The
Adventure of the Bronze Claw
.
Now a mystery has brought the boys once more to Santa
Barbara – and since I play a part in the story, it seems only natu-
ral that I handle the introductions. I have gladly put the manu-
script to my latest mystery novel aside and poured over the notes
of the case.
And what a case! Seldom have the boys been more baffled,
and seldom have their deductive skills been put to such a test.
Speaking of the boys, I suppose I should introduce them for
those who have yet to make their acquaintance. Jupiter Jones, the
stout First Investigator and brainy leader of the junior detective
firm, is stubbornly persistent in pursuit of a mystery – no matter
where it may lead or what grotesque secret it may uncover. Pete
Crenshaw, the athletic Second Investigator, is more cautious in
the face of danger than Jupe, but always in the thick of the action
when his skills are needed. Bob Andrews, small in stature and stu-
dious in appearance, is in charge of Records and Research, a duty
for which he shows a natural flair.
All three of the boys live not far from Hollywood in Rocky

Beach, California, where they have established a headquarters
within the piles of junk inside the Jones Salvage Yard.
Headquarters itself is a damaged thirty-foot mobile home trailer
that Jupiter’s Uncle Titus was unable to sell – so he gave it to Jupe
to use as a clubhouse for his friends. It’s hidden from view by
strategically placed salvage, and now long forgotten by all but the
boys. Inside it is equipped with many tools of the detective trade
– handbuilt by Jupe – as well as a telephone, laboratory, dark-
room, and an office.
Well, enough with the pleasantries! If you think you have the
mettle to come face to face with a restless gargoyle, I recommend
you turn to chapter one and commence with the story.
