"My name is Leach," declared the maths master at Waring College viciously, " and I have been after your blood for a long time." And these ominous words start a series of adventures for Conway, Lexler and Heathcote - adventures which are part embarrassing, part mysterious, and part frightening but always very, very funny. What lies behind the locked door of Study 31? Who ragged Mr. Leach's house? Who locked the adventurous trio in their study in the dead of the night? These and other mysteries, Conway, Lexler and Heathcote determine to solve and despite many set-backs, do so, bringing the tale to an unexpected and thrilling conclusion. Author of many excellent school stories for boys, Hylton Cleaver has rarely written one with so much excitement and suspense as "The Forbidden Study."
