The Case brothers navigate danger and deception in an exciting escapade that revives classic pulp fiction thrills for teen and retro readers. When 17-year-old identical twins Dan and Paul Case pick up a hitchhiker, they think they're just helping somebody who is down on his luck. Little do they know that their decision will launch them into a wild, life-threatening adventure. The hitchhiker is Eddie Ridgway, the former bookkeeper of a notorious gangster and bootlegger, recently released from prison after serving time for embezzlement and tax evasion. An insurance investigator is hot on his heels, believing Ridgway is going to collect the missing embezzled funds. The Case brothers deduce that Ridgway has hidden the money in the forest around Wolf Lodge, now located in a state park. Determined to claim the reward for the loot's return, they set out to find it. But they're not the only ones searching for lost stash-two of Ridgway's former criminal associates, Wilbur and Gimpy Dalton, have also caught wind of his plan and believe Dan and Paul are working with him! The twins must use all their cunning and courage to escape from the Daltons' dangerous grip to continue their search for the missing loot-and uncover secrets about their family in the process. The Cash Cache Mystery is pulp fiction for teen readers that will also appeal to readers of the newest generations, reluctant readers, as well as older readers who remember the classic pulp titles from their past.

Reading ââ?¬Å"The Cash Cache Mystery,ââ?¬Â? part of A Case Twins Adventure series by Dorian Rockwood, reminded me of classic peachy titles of the past, such as Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys series, only this time, more contemporary with modern-day perspectives. In this second installment in the series, Rockwood introduces us into yet another rollicking mystery involving Dan and Paul Case, two seventeen-year-old twins, as they pursue an elusive villain. What started as an act of compassion for the two by offering a lift to a helpless- looking man in their ex-army jeep would lead to an expected arrival of private investigator, Roy Archer at their doorstep. Turns out the hitchhiker was Eddie Ridgway, a former convict who had been convicted of fraud and tax evasion and a former bookkeeper for a Chicago-based mobster.
Ridgway, they learn, is on a mission to collect the money he had hidden from these illegal dealings and a huge compensation awaits those who find him. Dan and Paul begin the pursuit of Ridgway but soon come to the realization that they are not the only ones after the grand prize. Two villainous brothers, Wilbur and Gimpy Dalton, have joined the trail and the twins find their paths frequently colliding. With their lives constantly in danger, their real challenge becomes finding ways to stay alive, having to match their wits and amateur sleuth skills to achieve this.
With an endearing set of protagonists, ââ?¬Å"The Cash Cache Mysteryââ?¬Â? will enthrall voracious readers of the mystery genre, teens and adults alike. Natural dialogue and a rich adventure arc are what is likely to move readers most, along with the suspenseful chapter endings that will keep you turning the pages. Despite their slightly clashing personalities that make them pick at each other often, Dan and Paul are a close duo, resilient and brave, and are bound to spur a fascination for twins.
The book starts off slowly, but I understood this factor as the author gave us ample time to familiarize ourselves with the characters, learn their quirks and temperaments through effective back stories, even drawing our attention to their relationships with other characters. As the book builds, it gains strong momentum and sustains this pace throughout. An intriguing yarn, ââ?¬Å"The Cash Cache Mystery: A Case Twins Adventureââ?¬Â? by Dorian Rockwood will take you through plenty of twists and turns, a worthy feature which secures its spot in the mystery genre.
