When a transistor thought to be the key to telepathic communication is found, Albert Campion is called to sort fact from fiction. But the device at the centre of the mystery is in the possession of two schoolboys and whether they stole it or invented it, there are others who will kill to get hold of it.

Private detective Albert Campion faces as deadly a challenge as any in his career.
