The S.O.S Boys Mystery Book Series

Rick, Greg, and Topher are lifelong friends who live in Bellingham and Orcas Island with their families. After working many odd jobs for over two years, the boys combined their savings together to purchase a sixteen-foot boat with an outboard motor. They planned to use the boat to travel back and forth from Bellingham to Orcas Island and earn money crab fishing.

Mystery on Orcas Island, Book 1

Mystery on Orcas Island is the first book in the series. In the story, the first of two mysteries occurs as soon as the boys board their boat and set a course for their parents’ cabins on Orcas Island. A mysterious creature quickly swam under the boat causing it to bounce around a lot on the water. Then, that night while toasting marshmallows, they see unexplained lights flashing across from their cove. What is it that swam under their boat? Who or what was flashing signals to them?

The second mystery unfolds while the boys are crab fishing. After witnessing two mysterious fishermen in the area, the boys thought something was not right. They followed their instincts and investigated the fishermen’s suspicious activities. The boys carefully gathered detailed information about the fishermen and what they were doing. Once they had enough intel, they shared it with their friend, Captain MacArthur of the Coast Guard.

Their investigation takes them to San Juan Island where they meet with the British Camp park ranger. There they learn that the rare gold coins they found are similar to those that were also discovered behind the attic door in the barracks building at British Camp 48 years ago.

After finishing their research on San Juan Island, they set a course in their small boat for their cabin on Orcas Island.
