Produktbeschreibung
Dave Porter and his double or the disappearance of the Basswood fortune is a young adult novel centered on a civil engineering student who finds himself at the center of a perplexing mystery involving impersonation and a vanished inheritance. The story begins when a recreational outing is disrupted by an unexpected letter referencing unpurchased items, raising concerns of fraud. This unsettling moment leads to the realization that someone resembling him is committing deceptive acts under his name. As suspicion builds, the story introduces a series of tense encounters and the emotional strain of dealing with deception, misplaced trust, and the responsibility of defending one s name. The setting alternates between moments of social activity and urgent investigation, underscoring the disorientation of confronting an unknown adversary who has manipulated perception and circumstance. The protagonist is forced into a pursuit not just of the impersonator, but of clarity and restoration. Through suspenseful turns, the novel reflects on the fragility of reputation, the complexity of truth, and the effort required to confront injustice while maintaining integrity.
Autorenporträt
Roy Rockwood was a pseudonym used by Edward Stratemeyer and the Stratemeyer Syndicate for a variety of adventure books, especially those targeting young boys. The name is most notably remembered for the Bomba the Jungle Boy series, which became one of the popular titles under this pen name. Edward L. Stratemeyer, the mastermind behind the Syndicate, was an American publisher and a prolific writer of children's fiction. Born on October 4, 1862, in Elizabeth, New Jersey, Stratemeyer founded the Stratemeyer Syndicate, a publishing company that produced a remarkable volume of children's books. Throughout his career, Stratemeyer wrote or oversaw the production of over 1,300 books, with total sales exceeding 500 million copies worldwide. His work includes famous series such as The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew. Stratemeyer's ability to create enduring series was central to his success, and his influence in children's literature remains substantial. He passed away on May 10, 1930, at the age of 67 in Newark, New Jersey, and is buried at Evergreen Cemetery & Crematory in Hillside, New Jersey. His daughter, Harriet Adams, later took over his legacy, continuing the Syndicate's work.
