Tom Fitzgerald, known as The Great Brain, struggles to stay reformed under the threat of losing his friends. His brother J.D. suspects Tom's change is temporary, and secretly hopes for his return to mischief. As Tom's cleverness is tested, he must outsmart everyone to avoid detection. Whether orchestrating a cunning swindle or unraveling a train robbery and murder, Tom's sharp mind is always at work. Can he balance his love for schemes with the risk of being caught, or will his Great Brain lead him into deeper trouble?
Tom Fitzgerald, alias The Great Brain, is back, struggling to stay reformed now that his friends have threatened to ostracize him if he puulls even one more swindle. But his brother J.D. knows Tom’s reformation is too good to be true, and as a reformed Great Brain makes for a dull life, J.D. is not altogether unhappy–or blameless–when his brother’s money-loving heart stealthily retums to business as usual.
Under the watchful eyes of parents and friends, Tom has to be craftier than ever, and indeed he is. Whether he’s cleverly pulling an out-and-out swindle so as not to be caught or solving a train robbery and murder, Tom’s Great Brain never fails.
