4-6Cascade Mountain Railroad Mysteries series.
A mysterious unscheduled train and a burlap bag containing a cryptic note and a gun inspire Billy and his friends to investigate some of the employees at the railroad work camp where they live. The prose is pedestrian, but the plot contains greater suspense than previous volumes in the series, and the 1926 Washington setting continues to add an element of historical interest.
