George Hamilton and Mr. Fenton, along with their friend and housekeeper, Mrs. Covey, were talking in the study when someone knocked at the door. Mrs. Covey, answering it discovered their friend, Prescott police Captain Jackson. After being shown into the study, the captain explained the reason for his visit. He had a case that was out of the Prescott jurisdiction, but it involved his sister's family. He wanted to hire George to check it out and solve the problem. Fenton let George know that he should agree to take the case. This is the first case of book 2, and Fenton named it, "The Case Of The Halloween Moon."
