Mystery of the Black Diamonds

Mystery of the Black Diamonds is by Phyllis A. Whitney. One of Whitney's many mysteries for young adults. Angie and her brother befriend an old prospector and on his death he leaves them a treasure map and a house in an old Colorado ghost town. What are the black diamonds? Can Angie and Mark find them before it's too late? Whitney is the master of detailed setting. You really live in her settings when you read her books. A great introduction to this magnificent author for younger readers.
