A BIFF BREWSTER MYSTERY ADVENTURE:
BRAZILIAN GOLD MINE MYSTERY

"Guard this letter as you would your life!" With these words ringing in his ears, Biff Brewster boards the Brazil-bound plane to join his father on a safari to the headwaters of the Amazon River—a safari that, to Biff’s amazement, becomes a deadly contest for fabulous riches.

From the beginning, Biff, his father, Biff’s friend Kamuka, and the rest of the party find their path menaced by an enemy who never reveals himself. Is it Nicholas Serbot, the suave stranger whom Biff first meets on the plane? Or is it Joe Nara, the eccentric old prospector, the only white man alive who knows the route to the almost legendary El Dorado gold mine?

Biff and Kamuka find their days crowded with the hazards and thrills of jungle travel as they trek through a wilderness echoing with the threat of "Macu"—the dreaded headhunters. And waiting for them at the end of the trail are a shock and a surprise beyond their wildest dreams.

A BIFF BREWSTER MYSTERY ADVENTURE:
EGYPTIAN SCARAB MYSTERY

A "LIVING" MUMMY haunts Buff Brewster's every step on the expedition seeking the lost tomb of Egypt's ancient Prince Reth. Fighting time to find the treasure crypt de-signed by Pattak the Tomb Builder, the archaeologists plead with the Egyptian government to postpone con-struction of a dam which will flood the site. But time is not the only enemy of the expedition. For Pattak himself- whose mummy is missing from a London museum-seemingly has returned to life to oppose the violation of his masterwork!

The curator of the museum, determined to prove his the-ory that the "forgotten Pharaoh" was banished from the Valley of Kings, arms Biff with a precious golden scarab to guard him in the Valley of Ghosts.

Biff successfully braves the perils of the mummy's men-ace, only to find himself challenged by worshippers of Thoth, an even older deity of the dead, who supposedly lost the battle of the gods centuries ago.

Trapped by the duplicity of a friend, Biff uses ancient magic to extricate himself and his companions, only to learn that it takes modern miracles to keep the "mummy" from hoarding the treasure for himself alone!

A BIFF BREWSTER MYSTERY ADVENTURE:
MYSTERY OF THE AMBUSH IN INDIA

Biff Brewster, sixteen, is a tall, strongly built blond youth who lives in Indianapolis, Indiana, with his parents and the eleven-year-old twins, Ted and Monica. Because his mother and father believe that travel is as important to education as formal schooling, Biff is encouraged to travel to various countries during the vacation months. His experiences in these lands, and the young people he meets there, form the basis of a new series for adventure-loving readers. In every journey there is a strong element of mystery, usually a direct result of conditions peculiar to the region in which he is traveling. Thus, in addition to adventure, these books impart carefully re-searched information about foreign countries.

A BIFF BREWSTER MYSTERY ADVENTURE:
MYSTERY OF THE MEXICAN TREASURE

Where there is adventure, generally there is danger! Biff Brewster has had enough of both to know this well—but in spite of his thrilling experiences in Brazil, Hawaii, and China, he is hardly prepared for the treachery and intrigue awaiting him in Mexico.

Biff's father has been called to Mexico to act as consultant to a group of archaeologists who are searching for what may prove to be one of the most fabulous treasure-houses of Aztec antiquities uncovered to date. But a weird and shocking telephone call brings early warning to the Brewsters: trouble ahead!

More than once, Biff and his friend Miguel must pit courage and ingenuity against possible disaster. A talking statue, a legendary war god, a rare fire opal, a dagger, and a mask—all become forces of destruction which threaten the lives of everyone involved in the hazardous excavation.

Obviously, someone else is in search of the treasure, someone who will stop at nothing to claim it for his own evil purpose.
