Secret Pact

Secret Pact

by Mildred A. Wirt Benson

Penny Parker, a young and resourceful amateur reporter, witnesses a man being pushed off a bridge and into a river. The victim, despite being rescued, denies the attack, adding to the enigma of the incident. His unique octopus tattoo fuels Penny's curiosity, pushing her to uncover the truth behind the mysterious event. With her father, a newspaper publisher, and her friends dismissing her suspicions, Penny takes matters into her own hands. She establishes her own local newspaper and delves deeper into the 'Octopus Tattoo' mystery, using her keen observation and determination to piece together the puzzle. As new clues emerge, Penny's unwavering pursuit of truth confronts her with challenges, including threats and a natural disaster, but she remains undeterred in her quest to uncover the truth.
