"This was the first book I ever bought for myself. I was ten years old and bought it through the Scholastic Book Service catalogue. Being someone who was a fan of Dark Shadows, Revolutionary War history and anything involving secret codes, mysteries and ghosts I was immediately hooked." [a private review]

"I bought and first read this back in 1974 at the age of 12. For me, it was a great mystery in the style of the Hardy Boys. I remember that the hero, Jim loved his family and wanted to clear up the name of his grandfather. He discovers a spy ring that operated during the Revolutionary War and the identity of the ghostly man in the long black cape. The book was a good read." [a private review]
