| A human hand is
unearthed at the property of Hank Turner, a
local farm in Jerseyville, Ohio, where Emmy Budd
and her adventurous friend T.J. Blake, live.
Hank Turner, a good friend of Emmy and T.J.'s,
is under suspicion for merder and mutilations of
a hired man whom he threatened and fired several
weeks earlier. |
|
| A developer and
a newcomer has purchased the Turner farm with
plans to turn it into a roadside tavern. Emmy
and T.J. keep their ears to the ground as they
pretend to help out while gathering information
on the proposed tavern. When Emmy discovers a
sudden appearance of animal bones in the
excavation of the Turner farm after a torrential
rain, the game is afoot and Emmy and T.J. set
off to uncover the
truth. |

| Along the way,
the tween detectives are joined by a scruffy
stray dog appearing at strange times and strange
places, whom T.J. names Harry. Harry tags along
with the kids on their many trips to the
'gravesite,' leading Emmy and T.J. to a
nefarious secret. Together, the three sleuths
struggle to save the town, and Hank Turner, from
a greedy
opportunist. |
