In this the third in the action packed 'And Jake Makes Three' childrens' adventure series…
Together again at Talltrees, Gran tells Sam and Jess tales surrounding the neglected looking house that they had come across while out walking on the North York Moors.
The children are fascinated by Gran’s stories and want to find out more about the strange people they had seen there. However, the secrets surrounding Badlands are much more serious than they first thought.
This time it is Jake who leads them into danger!
How can two children and a dog cope with such serious crimes as kidnapping and blackmail?
When they are locked in an upstairs bedroom they realise that their only way of escape is down the outside drainpipe, but what about Jake?
