You look exactly like him! You can take the dead boy's place and no one will ever know the difference. You'll be rich for life!' And so the plan was born. At first Brat Farrar fought against the idea; it was criminal, it was dangerous.

The Ashby family seemed happy to welcome Patrick home, but Brat soon realized that somewhere there was a time-bomb ticking away, waiting to explode...

The plot follows Mowgli, a feral child raised in the Indian jungle by wolves, as his friends Bagheera the panther and Baloo the bear try to convince him into leaving the jungle before the evil tiger Shere Khan arrives

Malcolm Jaggard is agent van de economische contraspionage. Hij is verloofd met Penny Ashton, de dochter van de industrieel George Ashton. Merkwaardig is echter dat Ashton de warme belangstelling van de Engelse geheime dienst heeft, althans van sommige afdelingen. Ook de Russen blijken veel interesse voor hem te hebben. Als Ashton op de vlucht slaat (voor wie?) komen de gebeurtenissen in een stroomversnelling. Wat ontdekt Lord Cregar, hoofd van de inlichtingendienst, ten huize van Ashton? Welke rol speelt de verhouding tussen Malcolm Jaggard en Penny Ashton? En vanwaar die plotselinge belangstelling voor die immense modelspoorbaan die George Ashton heeft aangelegd?
