The Mystery of the Talking Skull

The book revolves around the adventure of three investigators who attempt to unravel a mystery involving a ventriloquist's dummy and a talking skull. It all started with a dollar. One dollar paid at auction by Jupiter Jones for a dusty old trunk that once belonged to The Great Gulliver, a magician who vanished as mysteriously as one of his tricks. The trunk attracts a host of bizarre characters, like Zelda the Gypsy, Three-Finger Munger, and Maximilian the Mystic. But what's inside the trunk is even more bizarre—a skull that talks!
