The Three Investigators, eager to boost their detective agency's fame, venture into Terror Castle, a haunted mansion once owned by a horror-movie actor. What begins as a thrilling adventure quickly spirals into a night of spine-chilling encounters. As eerie sounds and ghostly apparitions emerge, the boys must unravel the castle's dark secrets before they become its next victims. Will they uncover the truth behind the haunting, or will Terror Castle live up to its name?
From the publisher
The Three Investigators discover a sinister clock with an alarm that sounds like the scream of a woman in mortal terror. Who could have made such a clock – and why? Jupiter, Pete, and Bob immediately embark on a search to discover the origins of the mysterious clock. When they come across a run-down house in Hollywood, they find an entire room full of dreadful clocks – with time running out!
