Golden Press. First Edition. 1959. Yellow and tan diamond patterned, cloth-bound hardcover in illustrated dust jacket. FROM THE DUST JACKET FLAP: This wonderfully entertaining mystery introduces a teenage detective of matchless skill and ingenuity -- the one and only Brains Benton. Just as Sherlock Holmes was assisted by Dr. Watson, so Brains is aided by his resourceful pal Jimmy Carson. In this exciting story, the two young private investigators set out to help a boy named Skeets Fenton who is trying to regain rightful control of the Fenton circus, which was taken from him shortly after his father died. Only a secret message left by Mr. Fenton before his death can establish Skeets' claim -- but the message cannot be found. In their search for the message, Brains and Jimmy become involved with a band of colorful characters, including Bimbo, a former circus clown, and his elephant, Marjory; Bimbo's wife, who was once a fortuneteller and mind reader; and Otto and the Joker, the sinister pair who took over the circus from Skeets. A kidnapping, a dangerous attempt to search Otto's office, a wild race against time to a secret hideout in the backwoods -- these are only a few of the adventures that Brains and Jimmy encounter before they have solved the fascinating case of the missing messages.

In The Case of the Missing Message, the first book of the Brains Benton Mystery series, a secret code message spells trouble for Brains Benton and Jimmy Carson and leads them down a trail that involves a circus clown, a real live performing elephant, a fortune-teller, a tight-rope walker, and a very pesky parrot. All clues seem to point toward a secret message which could bring the boys' new friend Skeets Fenton into his proper inheritance, and unmask the villains as well!
