In Oliver Wendell Holmes and The Case of the Terrorist's Cell, Oliver's keen observations unravel a cell phone theft ring on his first day at Mapleton Middle School. However, as is often "the case," Oliver sees connections to activity beyond this juvenile criminal behavior, uncovering a labyrinth of lies and deceit tied to something far more sinister.
A scuffle with a group of school bullies and a real-life street gang, the murder of a local high school teacher, and the covert operations of a suspected terrorist organization force Oliver and Robert to leap into action. As the stakes climb higher and the dangers grow increasingly precarious, will Oliver's and Robert's parents allow them to leave the house, ever again? Will a local detective throw Oliver and Robert in a jail cell to keep them from meddling any further in a police investigation? Will the bullies and gang members seek revenge for our heroes' interference? Will the terrorists succeed in harming thousands of innocent people?
In the center of spiraling peril and doom, our two young sleuths get to do what they love. Oliver investigates and solves crimes, and Robert chronicles every last detail while they both balance on the razor's edge of heroism and being grounded forever.
It all begins here . . .
In the sleepy town of Mapleton . . .
Two boys cross paths . . .
And their lives will never be the same.
