Mystery

A seaside villa. A hidden door. A secret buried in time. The adventure begins.

Jason and Julia, eleven-year-old twins, have just moved to Kilmore Cove, a quiet village on the Cornish coast, where their parents have bought Villa Argo — a grand house perched on the edge of a cliff. While exploring the villa with their new friend Rick, the twins stumble upon a hidden door concealed behind a wardrobe. No key seems to open it. What lies behind that mysterious door? Why was it hidden in the first place? Determined to uncover the truth, the three friends are ready to do whatever it takes to unlock the secret.
