Summer is sweet for cousins Lucille, Chloe, Aiden and Sol - staying with Grandma and Grandad means they can cycle and sail all around the coast without any grownups in the way. But out in their boat Chloe sees a terrified face at a window and they realise there's something rotten about nearby Applestone Hall. Could the face belong to recently kidnapped young George, the only child of a rich local businessman? The cousins soon find that no one else will help them uncover the truth.
